Beatitude Acclamation
“Blessed are those
who hunger and thirst for justice,
for they will receive
it in full.” Matthew

Wonderful
is the God of Christ, who gathers the poor of the earth.
Glorious is our God, who wipes away the tears of sorrow.
Wonderful
is the God of Christ, who gives inheritance to the meek.
Glorious is our God, who satisfies the hunger of the just.
Wonderful
is the God of Christ, who gives mercy to the merciful.
Glorious is our God, who gives vision to the pure in heart.
Wonderful
is the God of Christ, who adopts the peacemakers.
Glorious is our God, who lifts high the persecuted.
Wonderful
is the God of Christ, who finds the lost.
Glorious is our God, who awakens the dead.
