Blessed the Peacemakers!
ome people are
peacemakers in themselves. By conquering and subjecting to reason all the
motions of their souls, and taming their carnal desires, they become, in
themselves, a kingdom of God.
They enjoy the peace that is given on earth to persons of goodwill, the life of the consummate and perfect person of wisdom.
-- Sermon on the Mount 1, 2
Prayer. Lord, whatever you give me is too little for me. Be you yourself my inheritance! I love you with all my heart and all my soul and all my mind. Of what value is anything you give me that is not yourself!
-- Sermon 334, 3
