Yet in them, says Mother Mary Francis, a Poor Clare who spent a lifetime in prayer, \"Christ delivers the Christian philosophy of life and gives the first course in theological living.\" Indeed, the Beatitudes are the lens through which we should develop and live our spiritual lives. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany authors have written about the Beatitudes, but none with the spiritual wisdom and exceptional clarity of Mother Mary Francis. She masterfully unpacks the meaning of each Beatitude, showing how they all interconnect to present a roadmap to holiness and happiness.
