MOUNT OF BEATITUDES

The Mount of Beatitudes stretches beautifully on the slopes going down to the Sea of Galilee. It forms a perfect amphitheater with incredible acoustics explaining naturally the setting of Jesus with the multitudes as He taught and performed miracles. The Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5,6,7) tells the story of this site. One can visualize how Jesus could have pushed out in a boat to teach the crowds on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. Jesus taught here what a "Kingdom person" was like. The Franciscan Sisters maintain a church on a portion of this property called "The Church of the Beatitudes."

It is a wonderfully beautiful spot to meditate and worship.
