The Divine Pity- A study in the Social Implications of the Beatitudes

In this outstanding exploration of the Beatitudes, Father Gerald Vann offers a moving and poetic description of our Lord's Sermon on the Mount. He shows that far from being considered some kind of escape from the real world , the Beatitudes guide our worldly action toward serving God through the service of the souls around us.

As the author briefly summarizes in his introduction, " The Beatitudes tell us how to be happy; the way to be happy is to search for something else." That "Something else" is the theme of this book.
