-poor in spirit–barren Elizabeth & Zachariah
-those who mourn–The killing of the Innocents
-the meek–those humble shepherds
-those who hunger and thirst for righteousness–star gazing wise men
-the merciful–compassionate Joseph
-pure in heart–highly favored Mary
-the peace makers- the glory of the angels
-the persecuted–The holy family in flight to Egypt
