Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. Armed Might

(Teaching)

• lives lived in love and peace are twin signs of being God’s adopted children
• Christians have the duty to unite those who are in strife, disharmony and opposition by helping them realize our common brotherhood and sisterhood with Jesus Christ
• Christ is the ‘Prince of Peace’ Isaiah 9:6 and it is His mission to restore earth to the peace that sin has broken. As Christ’s followers, we are sent to his world with the message of peace.
• When we think of peacemakers, our attention should turn to evangelization. By virtue of the sacrament of confirmation, we all share in the teaching function of the Church and in the responsibility of passing on the faith. Peacemakers pass on the faith.
