1. Think nothing of the hatred of the world, if Jesus Christ was treated as a madman, it is no surprise that His followers are likewise treated.

2. The world is mired in malice, friendship with it means enmity with God, an if you follow the world, you too will become worldly with the worldly... therefore despise it all, so as to be able to say with St Paul, the world is dead to me and I am dead to the world.

3. Scorn the world with all your soul, live according to the true doctrine of the Heart of Jesus. And what is that doctrine? It can be wholly understood through the eight beatitudes.
#Beatitudes

4. Blessed are the poor in spirit, meaning those detached from all worldly things, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

5. Blessed are the meek, meaning those who accept all out of love for God, for they shall inherit the earth, the promised land of heaven.

6. Blessed are those who mourn, meaning those who, in this vale of tears, know the holy sadness of the cross, for they shall be comforted.

7. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for what is right, meaning those who desire virtue and perfection, for they shall be satisfied.

8. Blessed are the merciful, meaning those who know how to love their neighbours and live in communion with them, for they shall receive mercy.

9. Blessed are the pure in heart, meaning those who are pure, far from every sin and whose intentions are right, for they shall see God.

10. Blessed are the peacemakers, meaning those who know how to live in peace with God, with themselves and with others, for they shall be called sons of God.

11. Blessed are those who are persecuted in the cause of right, meaning through no faults of their own but because they uphold God’s truth, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

12. This is Jesus Christ’s true doctrine, and the rewards in store for those who follow it, heaven and earth will pass away, but His word will not.
