What makes a saint? On this second Sunday after Pentecost, Father explains how sainthood is accessible to all who put a priority on following Christ. We will fail, of course, in our daily struggles, but if our focus is always on Jesus He will lift us up and lead us to where we need to be. The Beatitudes are given to us as lessons for attaining sainthood, and show us what we can expect from the blessed life. Father explains to us the meaning behind several of the more significant ones.
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of God."
What constitutes real humility? How to foster an attitude of total reliance on God. What is meant by the kingdom of Heaven? The spiritual reality behind the term.

"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."
