Latela rejects the notion of powerlessness. Peacemaking begins

the past and move forward in peace.
The Ladder of the Beatitudes by Jim Forest 1999
Section Z
“Drawing on stories from the lives of the saints, scripture and
everyday life, Forest opens up the mysteries of the Beatitudes.
These ancient blessings, with which Christ began his Sermon on
the Mount, are like rungs on a ladder, each leading to the next and
up to the Kingdom of God.”
