Pier Giorgio Frassati, 1901-1925
 “Man of the Beatitudes” 

A Spirituality of Honor for Men in the World

Men of the Beatitudes is a life-form for men in the world, in which men of faith seek to live a spirituality of honor that combines elements from medieval chivalry and contemporary Christian personalism. 

Men of the Beatitudes commit themselves to do three things:  (1) entrust themselves completely (body, mind, and spirit) to the Holy Trinity as Merciful Love, abiding in the Heart of Jesus and following a five-part code of life; (2) they assume responsibility for personal growth and formation; and (3) they join with other men in the Living Rosary and other means of earthly communion. 

Inspired by the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:1-12) that Jesus proclaimed, Men of the Beatitudes seeks to fulfill the Commandments of the Old Covenant and the beauty of the New Covenant as summarized in the eight Beatitudes, which reveal the Face of Christ. 

This life-form can bestow nobility on a man’s everyday life and acts, and can support the formation of a mature Christian personality (cf. Hans Urs von Balthasar, Glory of the Lord, vol.1 and Pope John Paul II on the new ecclesial movements).

“. . . a life form is . . . able to bestow nobility upon a person’s everyday life
- Hans Urs Von Balthasar, Glory of the Lord, vol. 1
