Catena Aurea · Matthäusevangelium 5
Mt 5, 7English original
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
(ord.) Justice and mercy are so united, that the one ought to be mingled with the other; justice without mercy is cruelty; mercy without justice, profusion—hence He goes on to the one from the other.
