The Beatitudes are not a paradoxical recipe for happiness, absurdly promised to the unfortunate and the weak. But Christ reveals in them his own glory, which cannot be possessed, and which consists in giving oneself without keeping anything or fearing to lose anything.
Les Béatitudes ne sont pas une paradoxale recette du bonheur qui serait absurdement promis aux malheureux et aux faibles. Mais le Christ y révèle sa propre gloire, qui ne se possède pas et consiste à se donner sans rien garder ni craindre de rien perdre.
