Often we are curious as how and where we fit in the Beatitudes or what we call "8 blessings". I'm convinced that a proper fast will help us see our genuine spiritual state and realize most, if not all, of the mentioned.
Happy are those who know they are spiritual poor;
the Kingdom of heaven belongs to them!
Happy are those who mourn;
God will comfort them!
Happy are those who are humble;
they will receive what God has promised!
Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires;
God will satisfy them fully!
Happy are those who are merciful to others;
God will be merciful to them!
Happy are the pure in heart;
they will see God!
Happy are those who work for peace;
God will call them his children!
Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires;
the Kingdom of heaven belongs to them!

踏入新的一年，我們或多或少想有一些改變，或爲自己訂立一些新目標。以下是一般人常許的新年願望：多運動、多儲蓄或少花錢、戒煙或酒、多陪家人、培養新興趣等等。你有爲自己訂下甚麼新年願望或目標嗎？ 我自己也曾訂下一些有關生活、靈命、健康、進修、家庭及事奉等的目標。總的來...
