Which beatitude is the most vital (necessary) to today's society and why?

For full credit, you must include the beatitude in your response enclosed in quotation marks, not have any grammar or spelling errors, and elaborate with examples with a minimum of three sentences.

For example:

For the next fory days,  I promise to give up ALL sweets. I am not going to try to make it easy by eliminating only one type of temptation. I'm going all in!

Additionally, I am going to add in the commitment of going to the gym five times a week to nurture the body God gave me and expected me to make healthy.

In honor of the near end to NASA's shuttle program, CNN condensed video from every shuttle launch into 133 seconds. It's pretty neat, yet also a sad time for our country since shuttle launches will cease for quite some time. You can read more about this here.
