ORIGIN OF BIENAVENTURADO

The word Bienaventurado comes from the Hebrew asrhe and the Greek makarioiThe two words give one to understand the feeling of happiness and, also, of being blessed. In the case of the Bible, the Beatitudes constitute a central message of the preaching of Jesus Christ.

Beyond the happiness that earthly things can bring about, to be blessed in the Biblical sense is to be at peace with God and to do his will. Therefore, the beatitudes also warn of persecution and struggles possessed by people who are considered blessed by the Lord.

The beatitudes are found in chapter 5 of the Gospel of Matthew in the Bible.
