Peace Makers
In order to make peace we need to be at peace – with God,
with ourselves and with our neighbours. That’s an almost insurmountable task
when assailed by an aggressor – from Putin to the envious colleague,
the situation calls for a greater righteousness. This is a term that applies to
The Sermon on the Mount, because with every phrase the Old Dispensation,
the Judaic Law, is challenged. Just when you thought you had all the boxes ticked,
Jesus says, “But wait, there’s more…”. Yes, more generosity, more forgiveness, more trust in God.
And the hardest on these is trust because at the root of our resistance to trust is fear.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
Matthew 5:9
We pray for the diocese of Tuam, Killala & Achonry in Northern Ireland.
The Sacred Path is the diocesan Centre for Spirituality offers ‘stepping stones’
those who would grow as children of God. Let us thank God for those who support and attend.
May they grow in peace and trust.
