Blessed are the volunteers,
for their time is in God’s hands.
Blessed are the sorrowful,
for their tears will be wiped by angels.
Blessed are the empathetic,
for their lives will be wise and true.
Blessed are the broken,
for their pieces will be made into mosaics.
Blessed are the meditators,
for their peace will be shared in presence.
Blessed are the marginalized,
for they shall know liberation.
Blessed are the mindful,
for every detail of theirs will be tended.
Blessed are the helpers,
for they will be adored.
Blessed are the visionaries,
for they shall create hopes and dreams.
Blessed are the gentle,
for they shall soften the world.
Blessed are the joyous,
for their smiles will shine from the heavens.
Blessed are the givers,
for them love will be received.
Blessed are the sincere,
for them truth will be made reality.
Blessed are they who vocalize injustice,
especially when refraining from
hardening their hearts,
they are the true prophets of this world.
