The Litany of the Beatitudes is a prayer shaped by Jesus’ teaching on blessedness. It reminds us that God sees the humble, the merciful, and those who seek justice. By calling on Jesus for help, we ask for strength to live these values each day.
This prayer helps faith move from words into action. 🙏🌿
William Jay, Congregationalist minister, expresses awe for God’s power and nature. We must be ready to account for our stewardship to the One who may call us to him. We must not disdain the poor. We are given wealth, but for distribution. A full cloud empties itself upon the earth.
Jay says to be ready to give an account of our stewardship. John Piper, in contrast, says to be ready to given an account of how much bible reading you had done.

Arthur Tappan Pierson, Presbyterian, praises Samuel Fisk Green (1822–1884), missionary to Sri Lanka, who kept medical instruction in Tamil. Green fought cholera with handbills, yet never never lost sight of “greater work” to spread the gospel.
Today, would we see the idea of Christians investing effort in pedantic lectures on hygiene to prevent the spread of a disease as a sign of apostasy?
How can you keep sight of ministry and public health?
Melancthon Jacobus, Presbyterian minister, on the common property of Acts 4:32, which was strictly common use, not ownership. Generous, non-grasping dealing with the poor should be a matter of discipleship. A grasping Christian is a contradiction in terms.
Today, is a “grasping Christian” apt to be celebrated, given church leadership because of knowledge of money?
