#9: ✨ "How to be a human being" ✨ : Sr. Joan Chittister with Fr. John Dear on “Jesus and the Beatitudes” (Part 3 of 3) ❓What does it really mean to be a peacemaker? To fight for justice? To get into “good trouble” for the sake of love? " How do we form a happy, holy world" ? In this powerful final conversation , Fr. John Dear and the unstoppable Sr. Joan Chittister explore the last Beatitudes—where Jesus calls us: 💠 Blessed are the peacemakers – How do we become fearless, nonviolent warriors for peace in a world addicted to war? 💠 Blessed are those persecuted for justice – What does it mean to stand for truth, even when it costs us everything, as Joan says to " get in trouble for justice or peace" ? Sr. Joan challenges us to go beyond words and build a real movement —a “ Beatitudes Movement ” that brings people together in small communities of action, resistance, and deep faith. What if we reimagined the Church as a “new Church of the Beatitudes” —a community of justice-seekers, healers, and changemakers? The Beatitudes aren’t just lessons—they tell us " how to be a human being" . Joan shares that "to me, the Beatitudes are a hunk of pasta mix and my next loaf of bread". Are you hungry yet? Tune in, be inspired, and take action. Joan encourages us to " find and build your own happiness group" . Sr. Joan Chittister is an internationally known lecturer and teacher, a columnist for The National Catholic Reporter , and the author of 60 books including The Time Is Now; Becoming Fully Human; Radical Spirit; Aspects of the Heart; The Gift of Years ; and The Rule of Benedict.
