    Thank you Fr. Hugh for taking the time to elaborate on the 7th Beatitude. You have gone to extraordinary lengths to highlight the significance of The Peace Maker. May I wish you continued success in your Ministry and to thank you once again. I have no doubt that many will find comfort in this message. Amen 🙏.

      Thanks for your kind response, Tom. Everybody wants peace, but few know how to achieve it.

    Fr. Duffy, another masterpiece catechesis on the 7th Beatitude. Your simplified explanations on this hard to imagine Jesus’ 7th pericope of the Beatitude goes with what John W. Peterson put in a song-‘It’s not an easy road’ This beatitude is our Green Passport to heaven. The world as you highlighted needs peace makers and not breakers. We desperately need Jesus, the Prince of Peace in our lives.Tx

    God bless Fr. Duffy, an absolute beacon of light. Lord, you have gifted us with an excellent representative of understanding Your word. So grateful!
