Recovering Roman Catholic, here. I, too, lost my faith in the church but found it in the Beatitudes:

Blessed are the humble in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

These are the essence of Jesus’ teachings; one needs no more, no less. Long ago I stopped calling myself a Catholic or even a Christian. Now, I refer to myself as a “Jesusian.” Religions need not apply.
