Matthew 5:1-12 (NRSV)
..
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his
disciples came to him. Then he began to speak, and taught them, saying:
..
“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 receive mercy.
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs
is the kingdom of heaven.
“Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all
kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your
reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who
were before you.

THE NOISE and the bustle began earlier than usual in the village. As
night gave way to dawn, people were already on the streets. Vendors

traveled avenues. Store owners were unlocking the doors to their
shops. Children were awakened by the excited barking of the street
dogs and the complaints of donkeys pulling carts.

4. Thou shalt not burden the shop girl, the mailman, and the merchant with complaints and demands.

He rides on the wind, always alone…
The valley his kingdom,
The mountaintop his throne.
The earth below… the sky above…
This symbol of freedom
That we all respect and love.
…
Soaring far above where the bluebird sings,
Ruler of the skies…this vision on wings,
And we, the “earthbound creatures” here below,
Can only wish, but will never know,
Freedom unlimited… master of the skies…
