Augustine of Hippo, on Matt 5:9
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Matt 5:9 · Douay-Rheims
“Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God.”
On this verse:
“(Civ. Dei, xix. 13.) Peace is the fixedness of order; by order, I mean an arrangement of things like and unlike giving to each its own place. And as there is no man who would not willingly have joy, so is there no man who would not have peace; since even those who go to war desire nothing more than by war to come to a glorious peace.”
