Peacemakers

Everyone hates

Hates a peacemaker

Who asks us

Calmly

To give up

Give up what is rightfully ours

For a greater cause



Each other



That’s why they are blessed

Called the children of God

Love that isn’t

 

To love another is to will what is really good for him. Such love must be based on truth. A love that sees no distinction between good and evil, but loves blindly merely for the sake of loving, is hatred, rather than love. To love blindly is to love selfishly, because the goal of such love is not the real advantage of the beloved but only the exercise of love in our own souls.

— Thomas Merton, No Man Is an Island
