Summary/Abstract: In the article herein, the author shall make a reference to phrases presented by our Lord, Jesus Christ, during the Preach on the Mountain, the Degrees of Happiness, by taking each of them separately and putting them under the light of the Holy Scripture, but also of the exegesis of the Holy parents of the Church. Each Degree of Happiness is addressed to the Christian as a means of communion with the Almighty and accomplishment towards salvation, as a stair to be ascended towards absolution.Only by following and embracing them in our hearts will we be able to be fulfilling and following the teachings of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
