b) Blessed are those who mourn
c) Blessed are the meek
d) Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness

Answer 1

Of all the Beatitudes, the easiest one for me to practice in my life is b) Blessed are those who mourn.

The answer is option ⇒b

Step-by-step explanation:

This teaching has resonated with me because it reminds me of the importance of empathy and compassion. When we mourn or grieve, we are acknowledging our shared humanity and the pain that others may be experiencing. It encourages us to be there for others in their times of need and to offer support and comfort.

Mourning can be a difficult and vulnerable process, but Jesus reminds us that there is blessing and growth that can come from it. Through mourning, we can develop a deeper sense of empathy, a greater appreciation for life, and a stronger connection with others. It allows us to be present with others in their grief and extend our love and support.

The answer is option ⇒b
