john paul ii is blessed, because of his faith, a strong, generous, and apostolic faith. we think at once of another beatitude, blessed are you, simon, son of jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my father in heaven. what did our heavenly father reveal to simon? that jesus is the christ, the son of the living god. because of this faith, simon becomes peter, the rock on which jesus can build his church. the eternal beatitude of john paul ii which, today, the church rejoices, to proclaim, is wholly contained in these sayings of jesus. blessed are you, simon, and blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe. it is the beatitude of faith, which john paul ii also received, as a gift from god the father, for the building up of christ's church. our thoughts turn to yet another beatitude, one which appears in the gospel before all others. it is the beatitude of the virgin mary, the mother of the redeemer. mary, who had just conceived jesus, was told by st. elizabeth, blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what
