This beatitude is simply a beatitude of grief. A radical invitation to embrace grief and mourning in a world that dismisses them. A beatitude that cautions us that there is no deep joy without having faced the depths of our griefs and sorrows. This is a

beatitude that tells us that the happy lives bombarding us daily are not all that happy. Because to be truly happy we have to allow for the griefs and sorrows that are a reality

of life!
