Did you know that the original Maltese Cross has eight points and that historically it was noted that it had one point for each of the Beatitudes in the Christian Bible. Is it any wonder how this symbol came to represent those whom we admire and the service and values they provide and represent.

The text of St. Mathew runs as follows:

Blessed are the poor in spirit : for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ( Verse 3 )

Blessed are the meek: for they shall posses the land. ( Verse 4 )
Blessed are they who mourn: for they shall be comforted. ( Verse 5 )
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice : for they shall have their fill. ( Verse 6 )

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. ( Verse 7 )
Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God. ( Verse 8 )
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. ( Verse 9 )

Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ( Verse 10 )
