Pope Benedict XVI once noted that each Beatitude is the fruit of Christ looking upon his disciples: “The Beatitudes express the meaning of discipleship. What the Beatitudes mean cannot be expressed in purely theoretical terms; it is proclaimed in the life and suffering, and in the mysterious joy, of the disciple who gives himself over completely to following the Lord.” The Beatitudes demonstrate conclusively how God, in choosing the weak of the world, will “shame the strong”. Therefore, with great certainty and conviction we, the “humble of the land”, from the stance of our utter nothingness, “seek the Lord”. For it is due to him that we are in Christ Jesus—through his gaze on the mountain we become like him.
