Theophylact of Ohrid, on Jude 1:2

Theophylact of Ohrid · c. 1055–1107
Jude 1:2 · Douay-Rheims
“Mercy unto you, and peace, and charity be fulfilled.”
On this verse:
“He desires that mercy, peace, and love be multiplied unto them; "mercy" because we are called by God and received as His servants through the compassion of mercy; "peace" because God the Father Himself also granted it to us, having reconciled us, who had offended Him, to Himself through His Son Jesus Christ; "love" because the Only-begotten Son of God gave Himself over to death for us out of love for us. Thus, the apostle prays that these gifts may abound in the faithful, just as David also cries out to the Lord: "Extend Your mercy to those who know You" (Psalm 36:10). Urged by these saving examples, we too, with sincere disposition toward our neighbor, must live worthily of Him Who called us.”
