Luke 10:5 Douay-Rheims

Into whatsoever house you enter, first say: Peace be to this house.

John Chrysostom

A.D. 347–407 Patristic

(Hom. 32. in Matt. Orat. cont. Jud. 3.) And hence he who presides in the Church gives it, saying, Peace unto all. Now holy men ask for peace, not only that which dwells among men in mutual intercourse, but that which belongs to ourselves. For oftentimes we wage war in our hearts, and are disturbed even when no one troubles us; bad desires also frequently rise up against us.
