"The vocation of the Community is nothing else but a calling to be the people of God, yearning to the trinitarian life and, like saint Therese, the Little Flower, choosing everything in order to be Love in the heart of the Church." (Book of Life p. 3)
In the beginning, the Community of the Beatitudes was founded by Ephraim, his wife Jo Croissant, and an other couple in France in 1973 with the Name: "Community of the Lion of Judah and the slain Lamb".
According to St Catherine of Sienna. According to the book of Revelation
In 1989, the Community felt a strong calling to change its Name into "Community of the Beatitudes", while keeping its previous Name as a hidden Name.
The Beatitudes
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn for their will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for their will inherit the land.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure of heart, for they will see God.
Blessed be the peacemakers, for they will be call children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you because of me.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in Heaven.
Thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
(Mt 5,3-9)
