How can peace ever be a reality in such a hostile world? What man desperately needs is a radical change of heart. Peace can’t be known in this world apart from the Prince of Peace who changes hearts, transforms lives, and rearranges priorities. Peace and peacemaking is the subject of the seventh beatitude.

Jesus says, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.”
