📖 Are the Beatitudes just a list of rules, or do they reveal something deeper? Many Catholics and Christians misunderstand these powerful words of Jesus in Matthew 5—especially what it means to be “poor in spirit,” to mourn, and to be meek.

📢 Unlock the hidden meaning of the Beatitudes—and how they can transform your faith today:

✅ “What ‘poor in spirit’ REALLY means in Matthew 5 (Hint: It’s NOT about being broke!)” ✅ “Why ‘Blessed are those who mourn’ is more than just grief—and how it strengthens your faith” ✅ “True meekness is a hidden superpower (Here’s why it’s NOT weakness)”
