worthy of congratulating, to carry something great something
long-lasting. (applied to the gods)
Many philosophers believe that no one
you can live happily for a long time, that the
Happiness is fluctuating.
Some versions it
translate in happy blessed or

In Christianity, this
the word reveals to us that
we are participating in
joy or happiness of GOD

ETYMOLOGICAL ANALYSIS
La palabra griega paralimpios
is
CLEAN, (PURE)
The basic meaning of
pure without mixture, nor
adulterated or alloy.
This beatitude demands the most from us.
severe examination of conscience.
Do we do what we do in the church for the
SIR or for our own prestige?
Do we offer our service out of generosity or
selfishness?
Are we going to church to meet with
GOD or to fulfill a custom or to
that we be considered respectable?
Is our life of prayer inspired by a
sincere desire for communion with GOD or because
Does it give us a pleasant feeling of superiority?
In the review of our conscience and
his motivations, we discovered that in the
world of subjectivity the SINCERITY,
HONESTY or INTEGRITY for itself
alone is enough, for we can be
SINCERE, but sincerely
wrong
HONEST, but to be honest in
an error
INTEGERS, but entirely wrong
focused.
AN EXAMPLE OF THIS WE HAVE IN:
The prophets of Baal, sincerely cried out to
your god to send down fire from the
sky that consumed the altar, they were flagellating their
bodies all in order to be heard, it was all
insufficient, for they were being sincere
mistaken.
We see King Abimelech, king of Gerar, in a way
integrate the information about Abraham
Sara, by stating that she is not his wife but his
sister, she pays her dowry in full, she takes her to
palace, God interrupts and does not allow me to commit
adultery. The integrity of this king was not
sufficient.
THOSE OF A CLEAN HEART ARE:
Those who with all sincerity
they are guided by the counsel of God
Psalm 73:1
Of sincere faith (1 Timothy 1:5)
People who have been
purified by obedience to the
truth (1 Peter 1:22)
These are the ones who have the intellect, the
emotions and will in harmony
with the truth of God, and this is the
base that supports its integrity and
honesty.
It is a level we must reach in
this life.
This beatitude is a purity
or cleanliness that must be conquered
here and now.
ONLY THE PURE IN HEART
They will be able to see God

We only see what we are


willing to see
If we look at the sky on a clear night, what do we see?
Only the trained can see.
In the same skies, an astronomer will be able to call the stars
and planets by their name, and move between them as between
friends.
A person taking a stroll along the paths of
a field will see trees, shrubs, thorns ...
An experienced botanist will pay attention to everything, calling each thing by its
name and knowing its use,
There are people with dirty minds who see
in any situation a material for
a rude remark or a joke
morbid. In any sphere of life,
each one sees what they are capable of
see
All things are pure for the
pure, more for the corrupted and
the incredulous have nothing pure; for even
his mind and his consciousness are
"corrupted". TITUS 1:15

A heart that does not know God.

A heart that has not grown in understanding the


will of God.
They are children of GOD who end up serving GOD.

They mistakenly believe that the love of God
will overlook his wrongdoing.
CONCLUSION,…BECAUSE
THEY WILL SEE GOD
This beatitude reveals to us one
of the interests of the heart of
FATHER. It is the mystery revealed by
God, if only we would clean our
hearts, our eyes would be
enabled to see GOD and His hand
guiding us every day.
Aligned with the will of the Father.
