Kapaun’s Men Beatitude Series (Series Three)

9 Episodes

The Catechism of the Catholic Church says the Beatitudes are at the heart of Jesus’ preaching (CCC 1716), yet how often do we take time to truly reflect on these blessings given to us by Jesus? Just two months before he was sent to the Korean War, Father Emil Kapaun gave a series of reflections on the Beatitudes, which proved to be a foreshadowing of how he would pour out his own life for his men. In this series, you will have the opportunity to explore the Beatitudes one-by-one through the living example of men and women like you, as well as through Father Kapaun’s own example. The Beatitudes are guideposts on our journey towards our heavenly blessing! (9 Sessions)
Please Note: This series is intended to follow after the Kapaun’s Men Virtue Series, which introduces you to the life and virtues of Servant of God Emil Kapaun. You may also wish to view the Kapaun’s Men Stewardship Series
