Summary

Join Dr. John Konicek as we dive further into the second Beatitude where Jesus declares: "Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted." These words echo the words of the prophet Isaiah in chapter 61. In this passage, Isaiah announces that God has sent him to comfort all who mourn. Each of us must ask ourselves how God is requesting us to do the same. The same spirit of God that was upon Isaiah is upon you. To whom is God asking you to bring God's comfort?Resources for further reflection:GAUDETE ET EXULTATE: Apostolic Exhortation of the Holy Father Francishttp://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/apost_exhortations/documents/papa-francesco_esortazione-ap_20180319_gaudete-et-exsultate.htmlJohn Dear, The Beatitudes of Peace – Meditations on the Beatitudes, Peacemaking and the Spiritual LifeMax Oliva, S.J., Beatitudes for the WorkplacePracticing the Beatitudes: Inspiration and Professional Growth, Twenty-Third PublicationsLucas Chan, The Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes: Biblical Studies and Ethics for Real Life.

From Passion to Peace by James Allen Loyal Books The first three parts of this book, Passion, Aspiration, and Temptation, represent the common human life, with its passion, pathos, and tragedy. The last three parts, Transcendence, Beatitude, and Peace, represents the Divine Life—calm, wise and beautiful—of the sage and Savior. The middle part, Transmutation, is the transitional stage between the two; it is the alchemic process linking the divine with the human life. Discipline, denial, and renunciation do not constitute the Divine State; they are only the means by which it is attained. The Divine Life is established in that Perfect Knowledge which bestows Perfect Peace.
