BAGHDAD Pope Francis told Iraqi Christians that when they suffer discrimination, persecution or war, the Eight Beatitudes are addressed to them. Whatever the world takes from us is nothing compared to the tender and patient love with which the Lord fulfills his promises, the pope told the congregation sitting inside and outside the Chaldean Catholic Cathedral of St. Joseph March 6. Dear sister, dear brother, perhaps when you look at your hands, they seem empty, perhaps you feel disheartened and unsatisfied by life, he said in his homily. If so, do not be afraid: The beatitudes are for you for you who are afflicted, who hunger and thirst for justice, who are persecuted. The Lord promises you that your name is written on his heart, written in heaven!
