Why this word is great
BEATITUDE — [Noun] Supreme blessedness or happiness, particularly the declarations of blessedness in the Sermon on the Mount. From Middle English beatitude, from Middle French béatitude, from Latin beātitūdō ("happiness, blessedness"), from beātus ("happy, blessed"). Unlike "felicity," which suggests a graceful and fitting earthly joy, or "benediction," which is the act of blessing, beatitude denotes the profound, settled state of being blessed. It is the sun-warmed stillness of a monastery garden, the quiet exhale after a lifetime of striving, and the palpable peace in a room where a long illness has ended; a happiness so deep it has ceased to be an emotion and has become a climate of the soul.
