Matthew 5:4
Douay-Rheims
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Ambrose of Milan
(in Luc. c. v. 20.) When I have learned contentment in poverty, the next lesson is to govern my heart and temper. For what good is it to me to be without worldly things, unless I have besides a meek spirit? It suitably follows therefore, Blessed are the meek.
