Beatitudes of Reconciliation

Blessed are those who are willing to enter into the process of being healed, for they will become healers.
Blessed are those who recognize their own inner violence, for they will come to know non-violence.
Blessed are those who forgive self, for they will become forgivers.
Blessed are those who are willing to let go of selfishness and self-centeredness, for they will become a healing presence.
Blessed are those who listen with compassion, for they will become compassionate.
Blessed are those who are willing to enter conflict, for they will find transformation.
Blessed are those who know their inter-dependence with all of creation, for they become unifiers.
Blessed are those who live a contemplative life stance, for they will find God in all things.
Blessed are those who strive to live these beatitudes, for they will be reconciliers.
