Beatitudes:
You would be excused for not knowing what this means because it is not in the KJV Bible. 
It is the word that is associated with the Sermon on the Mount of Olives in the book of Matthew Chapter 5:

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. 

Beatitudes means Blessedness.
 

 People talk of keeping faith & courage,
but courage is hard at times. Sometimes the struggle seems so great
no matter what others say. Lots of talk to God in
prayer, good fellowship, friends & family, with some of these
and a belief in hope you can get through, so many
... hopes have come true, don't let yourself down, hope in God
- J M Sandbrook.
