Blessed are they who mourn for they will be comforted. Maybe this simple a statement of fact - when we mourn, we find comfort. How well have you learned to mourn?

Jesus said that the poor in spirit are blessed. That sounds ridiculous. What was he talking about? What can we learn from what he was saying? What would the Spirit of God call us to do to help the plight of the poor?
