“Blessed are those who mourn: for they shall be comforted” (Mt 5,4)

Marijan Vugdelija ; Catholic Faculty of Theology, University of Split

Abstract

Those who do not conform to evil and resist models of behavior,
that they are pressured to accept because ‚evryone does it‘, will
mourn but they are happy. The world cannot tolerate this kind of
resistance; it demands conformity. It considers this mourning to
be an accusation directed against the numbing of consciences.
And so it is. That is why those who suffer persecution will mourn
for the sake of righteousness and put things to rights. This is
the strenght to accept sorrow and oppose oppression with the
conviction that God is with them.
