Blessed be you who are vented upon by those you wish to reconcile to each other...
Blessed be you who fall out of favour in the stand for truth and peace...
Blessed be you who are cursed and curried as cowards and traitors for not partaking in an unjust cause...
Blessed be you when you choose silence over words, when words would uphold your right but destroy fragile peace...
Blessed be you when you walk in troubled times but let not the chaos seep into your souls...
Blessed be you when you choose unjust peace over a just war...
Blessed be you when isolation becomes your companion and great sacrifice is asked of you to still troubled waters...
For the Son of Man came to reconcile the warring children to their Father, and received a friend's betrayal, a lonely cross, an outlaw's death and a borrowed grave.
But there is still a promise...
