Fr. Duffy, as meek as Moses the saying goes and as humble as Jesus St. Paul tells us in his letter to the Philippians (2:6-11) Meekness we can say go pari passu with humility.You painstakingly catechized the real meaning of Jesus’ 2nd Beatitudes, Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the land of justice, love and respect for one another.Thanks for your authentic reflection.

Good to hear from you, Bartholomew, after a short silence. I feel the need to write about each of these internal disposition(Beatitudes). A person acts as he thinks, and the beatitudes go even deeper than thinking because they penetrate to the condition of the human heart.

Yes, “Truth seasoned with love”. Seasoning can help make tough truths more “edible”.
