Episode 275 - Peace, Mercy, and Vulnerability
What if real peace only grows where we're willing to be vulnerable?
In this episode, the friars reflect on "Blessed are the peacemakers" and "Blessed are the merciful", showing how both Beatitudes invite us to step toward others with honesty and humility. Making peace means entering hard conversations without defenses. Mercy means letting go of the "high ground" we hold over those who've hurt us. Both require lowering ourselves, just as Jesus does.
They explore how vulnerability isn't weakness but the place where reconciliation becomes possible, where forgiveness takes root, and where the heart of Christ is revealed.
Join us as we learn the courage to be vulnerable and the freedom that comes from choosing mercy and peace.
