Beati pauperes spiritu.

Well, I have to hand it to you. I can't tell whether you're lying or not because I don't understand Latin, which I presume is the lanauge you use above.

If you're going to try to communicate an idea in writing on an English-speaking forum, I've got a suggestion: USE ENGLISH. Otherwise, I have to conclude that you're either unable, or unwilling, to communicate your ideas effictively.

I googled it and found this:

Beati pauperes spiritu
Translation: “Blessed are the poor in spirit” (Vulgate, Matthew 3:5)
