Booked to Heaven: Poor in Spirit

"Blessed are the poor in spirit,

for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

Matthew 5:3

How Can I be Booked?

"I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven" (Matthew 16:19).

"Not every one who says to me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven" (Matthew 7:21).

"Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 18:3).

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 5:3).

"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 5:10).

"Apart from the cross there is no other ladder by which we may get to heaven" ( St. Rose of Lima).

Prayer

All thy works shall give thanks to thee, O LORD, and all thy saints shall bless thee! (Psalm 145:10)

They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and tell of thy power, to make known to the sons of men thy mighty deeds, and the glorious splendor of thy kingdom. Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endures throughout all generations. The LORD is faithful in all his words, and gracious in all his deeds (Psalm 145:10-13).

Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom (Luke 23:42).
