This week's reflection focuses on the seventh Beatitude: "Blessed are peacemakers, for they will be called children of God." Fr. Gerard reminds us that true peace isn't won through conflict but through justice, respect, and dignity for all, especially the vulnerable.

While we may not be global negotiators, we can be peacemakers in our daily lives – at home, work, and within our communities – by responding with kindness, patience, and treating everyone as a child of God. Small acts of justice and compassion contribute to building God's Kingdom of peace. Let us strive to be God's mediators of peace in our world.
