Today's devotion: the importance of Christian wisdom and the beatitudes

The Lord says: "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for justice, because they will be satisfied" (Mt 5, 6). This hunger has nothing to do with bodily hunger and this thirst does not ask for an earthly drink, but wishes to have its satisfaction in the good of justice. She wants to be introduced into the secret of all hidden goods and longs to fill herself with the same Lord.
Blessed is the soul who aspires to this food and burns with desire for this drink. He certainly wouldn't aspire to him if he hadn't tasted the sweetness at all. He heard the Lord saying: "Taste and see how good the Lord is" (Ps 33: 9). He received a parcel of heavenly sweetness. She felt herself burned with the love of the most chaste voluptuousness, so much so that, despising all temporal things, she was entirely ignited by the desire to eat and drink justice. He learned the truth of that first commandment which says: "You will love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your strength" (Dt 6, 5; cf. Mt 22, 37; Mk 12, 30 ; Lk 10:27). In fact, loving God is nothing but loving justice. But just as concern for God is associated with the love of God, the virtue of mercy is combined with the desire for justice. Therefore the Lord says: "Blessed are the merciful because they will find mercy" (Mt 5: 7).
Recognize, o Christian, the sublimity of your wisdom and understand with what doctrines and methods you arrive and at what rewards you are called! He who is mercy wants you to be merciful, and he who is justice wants you to be righteous, so that the Creator shines in his creature and the image of God shines, as reflected in the mirror of the human heart, modeled according to the shape of the model . The faith of those who really practice it does not fear dangers. If you do this, your desires will be fulfilled and you will possess those goods you love forever.
And since everything will become pure for you, thanks to almsgiving, you will also reach that bliss that is promised immediately after by the Lord with these words: "Blessed are the pure in heart, because they will see God" (Mt 5: 8).
Great, brothers, is the happiness of the one for whom such an extraordinary prize is prepared. So what does it mean to have a pure heart, if not to wait for the attainment of those virtues mentioned above? Which mind could grasp, which language could express the immense happiness of seeing God?
And yet our human nature will reach this goal when it is transformed: that is, it will see divinity in itself, no longer "as in a mirror, nor in a confused way, but face to face" (1 Cor 13:12 ), as no man has ever been able to see. It will result in the ineffable joy of eternal contemplation "those things which eye did not see, nor ear heard, nor ever entered into the heart of man" (1 Cor 2: 9).
