He said, "The one who has the bride is the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. Therefore this joy of mine is now complete" John So, John the Baptist will surely be invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb. If he is in charity with his brother, his emotional state of the moment is irrelevant.
When we speak of being blessed, we therefore speak of an action of God, not of a condition wrought by a pagan deity or blind happenstance. Still less do we speak of a mere emotional state. In the New American Bible , for example, Psalm begins:. Isaiah And yet they are beati. The face of flint is a clear type of Jesus Himself, as is demonstrated by the use of the reading on Good Friday.
Humanly speaking, though Christ was supremely beatus in His Passion, he was hardly having a nice day. Without special pleading about the word, its meaning is lost. We can supply this pleading, but why should we have to? Once more, however, what is meant is not affective buoyance; still less is it luxuriating in the favors of pagan gods. But I believe the translators of the New American Bible go beyond our capacity to adjust.
Now that is just plain silly. But they did not listen, and Manasseh led them astray to do more evil than the nations had done whom the Lord destroyed before the people of Israel. You shall have them for food. The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
