This Beatitude is always a hard one for me. Father Mike has spent alot of time educating us on the importance of the Beatitudes. I didn't even know they existed until I went to Adult Catholic Education Classes. I know that they support the Ten Comandments and the Comandments of Jesus.
The conundrum is how hard and yet how easy this one is. "Blessed are the clean of heart, for they shall see God". I love his comparison to iron, this helps me see more clearly the releasing of all that encumbers me to be free to just see. When I let go of all that I think should be, I can just enjoy what is. This is like the nothingness of "The Cloud of Unknowing". I have always felt that everything ends up with God and these readings from these wonderful people are confirming this.
The more that I cling to my idea of what is right the more things go wrong. When I let things just happen as they are and I am not bothered, I see the goodness in each situation as it is.
