Most people think peace means comfort, silence, or getting along. Christ meant something far harder. In this Veritate episode, Blessed Are the Peacemakers, Johnny Mac strips away the false idea of peace and shows that true peace is right order under God. Drawing from Scripture, the Hebrew shalom, the Arabic salam he learned in Iraq, and the Catholic tradition, he lays out why peace is wholeness, not calm.
This episode exposes the counterfeit peace of silence and delay, explains the true meaning of meekness as strength under control, and ties it to the vocation of a soldier who makes peace by defending the innocent, restraining force, and restoring order. You will see why real peacemakers confront sin, pay a cost, and earn the name “sons of God.”
Listen if you are ready to reject the world’s empty calm, accept Christ’s sword of truth, and learn how to build lasting peace in your soul, your home, and your parish.
