Beatitude: Mt. 5:9

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

Matthew 5:9

Reflection

Peace is more than the absence of conflict; it is the harmony of right relationships. Peacemakers therefore work for reconciliation with God, with one another, and with the earth. They build communities where dialogue replaces division, shared responsibility replaces blame, and the vulnerable are protected.
