VILA PORRAS, Carolina. From the Exegesis of the Beatitudes to its Christian Praxis Mathew 5, 3-10. Cuest. teol. [online]. 2013, vol.40, n.93, pp.173-196. ISSN 0120-131X.

The exegesis of the Beatitudes aims to throw light upon the Christian experience, as an evangelic proposal of Jesus' unique project when he announced the Kingdom and the humanization of the human being through the restoration of their dignity. By applying the Historical-Critical Method to the text, some findings that allow seeing a close relation between Law and Gospel are highlighted. However, Jesus, in the Beatitudes, has rather a more humanizing intention than a paracletic one. The main thesis in the following paper is that the Beatitudes interweave the humanity of Christ in the person who chooses and lives the path of love. Furthermore, they constitute a crucial key for preparing, celebrating and living the sacrament of reconciliation.
