They that mourn- The sorrows which God sends or [[strikethrough]] permitts [[/strikethrough]] permits if received [[with]] humility and submission refine and ennoble the character and elevate it into close union [[with]] God. 2/ Those who mourn for the sorrows of others out of Christian sympathy are rewarded by the [[strikethrough]] exercis [[/strikethrough]] exercise of the act of compassion and find many comforters in their own real sorrows.
