"Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted."
While living in this Beatitude, one must appreciate and understand that all of our gifts have come from God. With this mentality, one would be capable of growing great love and appreciation for Jesus. However, living this Beatitude causes a person to regret their own sins, which may have hurt many people. An example of a person living this Beatitude may be a student who has hurt the feelings of his friend. Overtime, this student would feel a heavy burden of regret for his sins. As a result, this student went to confession to restore his relationship with God. Shortly after confession, this student confronted his friend to apologize and to restore their friendship.

I agree with your definition of this Beatitude.I think your example of this Beatitude is good. But a suggestion for you to add to your definition would be something about how the Holy Spirit will comfort the sinner if they are sorry for what they did.
Thank you for taking your time to respond to this post, Trevor.
I thoroughly agree with your suggestion of including the Holy Spirit within this Beatitude. Since you've mentioned it, I now realize that the Holy Spirit provides a sinner with courage to perceive what wrong has been done.
