The Beatitudes of Don Stefano

from his notes, his sermons, his advice
BLESSED ARE THE POOR IN SPIRIT
The “poorer” we are, the happier we will be. Let's get used to never complain. Even in small comforts, let's not make ourselves too comfortable a nest.BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO HUNGRY AND THIRST FOR JUSTICE
Prayer is the strength of man and the weakness of Jesus. I am as good as I pray. God is always close to us even in the saddest hours of our lives. Even when it seems that everyone has abandoned us, God is among us. Let us get used to always being close to God in all our daily actions.

BLESSED ARE THE AFFLICTED
If the Lord wants me to be able to work again and only for his glory...fiat...if instead He prefers in His love that I carry my ailments, I know how to carry them with resignation, in conformity with his will and with joy.

BLESSED ARE THE MYTHS
We pray: that's all; we work: that's what counts; let us sanctify ourselves: it is what is urgent, what is valuable, what remains.

BLESSED ARE THE MERCIFUL
We will not sanctify ourselves and we will not sanctify.without generosity. In essence we are called to generously love God and others; we are also responsible for the souls of others and must sacrifice ourselves to save them. If we don't understand generosity we are at zero.

BLESSED ARE THE PURE IN HEART
We must force ourselves to spend at least a quarter of an hour of the day as saints to reach the holy day every week and therefore the holy life. How to live like a saint even for just a quarter of an hour? How Jesus would live it: in union with Him, through love for Him, with the greatest possible perfection.

BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS
We are passing through, only what is done for God counts. Heaven begins now if we love God above all things and if we love our neighbor like Jesus did. We have our feet on the ground and our hearts in heaven.

BLESSED ARE THE PERSECUTED FOR THE CAUSE OF JUSTICE
For a soul in grace... can there be reasons for sadness? If any cloud passes, let the thought of divine goodness immediately dispel it.

Pope Francis to the members of the National Council of AC Italiana, 30 April 2021

The history of your Association
it is made up of many “saints next door” – many! –,
and it is a story that must continue:
holiness is a heritage to be guarded and a vocation to be welcomed.
