The Second Beatitude

Continuing along in a look at the Beatitudes - time for #2! There is such mourning over loss lately - with the cyclones in Myanmar, earthquakes in China, and other more personal losses. I hope that the ideas in this selectiton from the Bible and Science and Health help to lift thought to find joy and peace that comes from the love of God and the understanding of Him as Life and of man as His reflection.

Much good.
