Beatitudes for Women
Having drawn the title for Blessed is She from Psalm 41... "Blessed is she who has regard for the weak; the Lord delivers her in times of trouble," Nanette thought readers might appreciate other Beatitudes for Women.
Blessed is she who suffers with the very young, the very old and the very lonely, for she has compassion.
Blessed is she who greets the world with joy, laughter and anticipation, for she has courage.
Blessed is she who speaks gently, lives humbly and chooses to give freely, for she has dignity.
Blessed is she who listens and hears, and extends her hands as a friend, for she has understanding.
Blessed is she who gives simply, loves deeply, and walks joyfully in life, for she has sincerity.
Blessed is she who lives intensely and sings life's alleluias, for she has awareness.
Blessed is she who has compassion and courage, freedom and dignity, understanding, sincerity, and awareness, for she is a woman, a gift, a blessing.
