Lesson Vocabulary

  • Beatitude
    :
    Happiness or fulfillment. In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus gave the Beatitudes as the perfection of the Ten Commandments. They teach us how to be truly happy, or reach human perfection and fulfillment which we ultimately find in Heaven. (1711, 1725, 1726, 1975)
  • Perfect Happiness
    :
    is the ultimate fulfillment or perfection of the human person, which will only be found when we behold the Beatific Vision in Heaven. In Scripture this is also called blessedness.
  • Sermon on the Mount
    :
    The central teaching of Christ’s public ministry. During this teaching on a wide variety of topics, Jesus delivers the Beatitudes and the Lord’s Prayer. He also spends time talking about the teachings of the Old Law (the law of the Old Testament, or the Law of Moses). While He makes it clear that the Old Law is still in effect, He delivers new teachings or laws that deepen the requirements of His followers and challenge us to go beyond just what the law tells us not to do.
