In other words, if we ask and really wish to become virtuous, we shall become so. St. Joseph is called in Holy Scripture "a just man," to show that he practiced every virtue. If we are "merciful" to others, God will be merciful to us. "Clean of heart" that is, pure in thoughts, words, deeds, and looks. "Peacemakers."
And blessed are all the pure in heart, for they shall see God. And blessed are all the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. And blessed are all they who are persecuted for my name's sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. And blessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake;
"So will the Faculty," and with this covert hint the peacemakers turned the corner. The sun shown brightly on the red-brown earth of the diamond when the Freshmen, the Sophomores and the Faculty met, according to agreement. The enterprising student-body management had chalked the Quad in conspicuous places: RUSH of the YEAR, Sophomore-Freshman Game. Don't Miss It! and the college responded.
Such men have just the virtues of the patient Bhikkhu and like Christ the Buddha praised the merciful and the peacemakers. Money and taxes are the affair of those who put their heads on coins; God and the things which concern him have quite another sphere. When the Buddha preached his first sermon to the five monks at Benares the topics he selected were the following.
The captain makes answer with less deference than the dignity of the potentate requires: the affair grows hot; and the clergymen endeavor to interfere in the blessed capacity of peacemakers.

Their genius is pacific and to make peace they are the peacemakers of The Desert and they always travel under the intrepid escort of their warlike Touarick friends and neighbours. Intelligent, instructed and industrious, they are the greatest friends of civilization in North Africa and the Great Desert.
"Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. "Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. "Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
"Alice Lancaster, place one good deed to thy account: 'Blessed are the peacemakers," said Mrs. Lancaster. When Keith arrived at Mrs. Wickersham's he found the company assembled in her great drawing-room the usual sort to be found in great drawing-rooms of large new chateau-like mansions in a great and commercial city. "Mr. Keats!" called out the prim servant.
The work of a definitive treaty was pushed forward, and on May 8, preliminaries of peace were signed between the prince of Wales and Charles of France at the neighbouring hamlet of Brétigni, whither the peacemakers had transferred their sittings. There were still formalities to accomplish which took up many months.
Although the New Zealander is so fond of war, and possesses such war-like manners, yet are these peacemakers held in the highest respect, although they do not hold any sacred function indeed, no order of priesthood exists amongst the natives. I have never discovered any symptoms of religion in these people, except it consists in a great variety of absurd and superstitious ceremonies.
