![]() Happy Are Those Who Mourn, For They Will Be ConsoledĤ. For each of the 8 has a conclusion in the chapter. There is a brief introduction, then a chapter on each of the beatitudes. And so to have a book by father Philippe on these 8 beatitudes is I am certain a blessing for all who will read it. After finding and reading the passage I knew it described me and where I was at. I was searching and in a used book store a bible that that verse and one other marked in the front cover. ![]() ![]() Specifically, Matthew 5:6 'Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be filled.' At a low point late in my teen years I had wandered away from the church. If I may digress for a sentence or two, it was in part the beatitudes that helped me return to the church. This book combines two of my favorite things, the incredible spiritual writings of Father Philippe and the beatitudes. Thankfully for this book the wait was less than a year. And when he has a new book come out in French I eagerly await it being available in English. ![]() I have reread that book for times now and every time I read it I get something more out of it. My introduction to the writings of father Jacques Philippe was Time For God, which I first read 11 years ago. ![]()

There was a definite appeal to me, but I figured I would wait for the OHC.
