The Beatitudes are a perfect synthesis of Christs own life; they are, if you wish, a summary of Christs own practice of virtue. When we say that perfection consists in following Christ and ask what that means, we can answer that it means practicing the Beatitudes, which Christ first practiced and then preached.
