WHAT DOES BEATITUDE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

beatitude

Beatitudes

In Christianity, the Beatitudes are the set of teachings by Jesus that begin "Blessed are...", and appear in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. The term beatitude comes from the Latin noun beātitūdō which means "happiness". In the Vulgate, the book of Matthew titles this section Beatitudines, and "Beatitudes" was anglicized from that term. The Beatitudes describe 10 blessings in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew. Each is a proverb-like proclamation, without narrative, "cryptic, precise, and full of meaning. Each one includes a topic that forms a major biblical theme". Four of such "blessings" also appear in the Sermon on the Plain in Luke, and are followed by four woes that mirror the blessings. Each Beatitude consists of two phrases: the condition and the result. In almost every case the condition is from familiar Old Testament context, but Jesus teaches a new interpretation. Together, the Beatitudes present a new set of Christian ideals that focus on a spirit of love and humility different in orientation than the usual force and exaction taken. They echo the highest ideals of the teachings of Jesus on mercy, spirituality, and compassion.
