This book is about the vision Jesus sets before his hearers of a world ruled by justice and love. The eight beatitudes provide hope to all who listen to and follow the call of the kingdom in their hearts. Without that hope, there would be no place in the human heart for the Spirit of God to dwell, and the kingdom of God would not be able to reach its completion. With that hope, all things are possible-even the unspoken miracle that turns a hateful heart into a tranquil reservoir of divine peace.
