Courtney’s Reviews > The Beatitudes of Peace: Meditations on the Beatitudes, Peacemaking and the Spiritual Life > Status Update

I appreciate Fr. Dear's insight into the beatitude "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." He points out that if we are seeking peace and concerned for our brothers and sisters (all humans) throughout the world, we will inevitably experience grief over the violence, poverty, and injustice across the globe. He frames this grief in the context of blessing - we must mourn, and God will comfort us all.
