Mt 5, 9English original
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
(ap. Anselm.) The peacemakers have thus the place of highest honour, inasmuch as he who is called the king’s son, is the highest in the king’s house. This beatitude is placed the seventh in order, because in the sabbath shall be given the repose of true peace, the six ages being passed away.
