Beatitudes of the Beautifully Weird
Photo By: Flickr/Thierry Marianne
Blessed are the weird, for they shall see life as no one else can.
Blessed are they who don't fit in, for they have a special place to fill.
Blessed are they who are rejected because they are different, they reflect the true beauty of God.
Blessed are they who are alone because they are different, for through them shines the light of God.
Blessed are they who are not included, for they are close to the Heart of God.
Blessed are they who are on the outside, for they have room to grow.
Blessed are they who feel the pain of exclusion, for their differences bring them closer to God.
Blessed are they who hunger for friendship and are refused, they are precious in His sight.
Blessed are they who think outside the box, for boxes are a prison.
Blessed are they who are beautifully weird, for they have felt the nails of the Cross.
Blessed are they whom God made to be weird, for this is a blessing from the Creator.
"May the God of steadfastness and encouragement grant you to live in harmony with one another, in accordance with Christ Jesus, so that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Welcome one another, therefore, just as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God." -- Romans 15: 5-7
“Whoever welcomes you welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me." -- Matthew 10: 40
"Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. -- Colossians 3: 13

About the Author
I am a retired special education teacher and a cradle Catholic. I grew up in a home where the Rosary was prayed every night as a family. My grandmother did not accept any excuses for the family not to gather and pray the Rosary. As a result, I have been blessed with a strong devotion to Our Lady, the Woman Clothed in the Sun, whose job it is to lead us to her most beloved Son, Jesus. Although, not always strong in the practice of my Catholic faith, I have been blessed with the graces to return to the faith of my parents and grandparents. A faith that is strong and rich in the belief of the triune God, Mary, the Mother of God, the saints and our beloved angels. A faith that is strong and rich in the heritage of the Apostles and martyrs. A faith that is rich in mysticism. A faith that is rich in the love of God who is also the great I AM. I have weathered many storms in my life. Most of them, as I look back, I could not have survived without the infinite love of God. I praise God and I thank Him for His love for me.
