BEAT 7: The way of peacemaking (Eric Leroy Wilson)

Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”

We human beings are fragile creatures. Our desire for safety and security causes us to gravitate towards those who are most like us. We get into a mentality of us versus them, with so much defensive energy.

Whatever your story, whatever your struggle, the beatitudes invite us all to a ninefold path of recovery. In them, we hear the whispers of another world, a new way of being human together.

This film is part of a series of nine that use ideas taken from the Ninefold Path Notebook – part book, part journal, part adventure – exploring the way of the beatitudes.
