Sermon: Blessed are the Meek

Blessed are the Meek
Responding to Killings in Minnesota

All Saints’, Detroit

The Rt. Rev. Dr. Bonnie A. Perry

February 1, 2026

“They throw us to the ground, we say, Love is patient, Love is kind. They scream at us to go away, we stand steadfast and respond, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” When they attempt to separate families at bus stops in Ypsilanti, we stand firm and pray, “Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy” When they throw tear gas and shoot rubber bullets we say, “Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called Children of God.”
