According to an article in the <\/a>Catholic Herald, <\/em>Pope Francis has proposed six new beatitudes. The article states:<\/p>\n

At the Mass, which took place at the conclusion of his ecumenical trip to the country, Pope Francis highlighted the lives of the Swedish saints Elizabeth Hesselblad and Bridget of Vadstena.\u00a0 . . . New situations require new energy and a new commitment, he said, and then offered a new list of Beatitudes for modern Christians.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Four of the “new beatitudes” had to do with forgiving others, caring about the earth, and helping the poor and needy. One of them was ecumenical in nature: \u2014 Blessed are those who pray and work for full communion between Christians [meaning Christians and Catholics], and the second resonated with earlier comments Pope Francis has made to indicate that this pope is not only ecumenical, he is also interspiritual (all paths lead to God) and panentheistic (God is in all).<\/p>\n

\u2014 Blessed are those who see God in every person and strive to make others also discover him.\u2014Francis<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
