Blessed are the Peacemakers
Trustee Dinner

"The peacemakers, those who put an end to violence, who lay down the sword, who work for harmonious relationships, who break the patterns of hatred, who love even their enemies, will be called 'children of God,' the ultimate blessing.  These 'children of God' be they Jews, Christians, and Muslims in the Middle East, or we gathered here, are mandated by our great religious traditions to be peacemakers."

- Joseph Cardinal Bernardin, A Blessing to Each Other
