Light on a hill
Maundy Thursday

Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
1 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.’ Matthew 5:14-15
