| Jesus Sermon on Mount |
In the sermon on the mount Jesus gave us the Beatitudes. Today we remember in our prayers all those working in our hospitals, care homes, those caring for anyone who is sick in body or mind.
There are so many people who are helping us at this time, maybe this adaptation of Jesus' Beatitudes will inspire you to create Beatitudes for others ... if so please share using our contact us page.
