Pope Francis on "Blessed Are the Meek"

"Pope Francis said [recently] that a meek Christian is not weak, but defends his faith and controls his temper.

"'The meek person is not accommodating, but is a disciple of Christ who has learned to defend another land well. He defends his peace, defends his relationship with God, and defends his gifts, preserving mercy, fraternity, trust, and hope,' Pope Francis said Feb. 19 in Paul VI Hall.

"The pope reflected on the third beatitude from Christ's Sermon on the Mount: 'Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.'"
