John Chrysostom
Catena Aurea · Matthäusevangelium 5
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Or, if the peacemakers are they who do not contend one with another, but reconcile those that are at strife, they are rightly called the sons of God, seeing this was the chief employment of the Only-begotten Son, to reconcile things separated, to give peace to things at war.
