Peace And Enemies

Μακάριοι οἱ εἰρηνοποιοί... Εἰρηνοποιοί εἰσι καὶ οἱ τοὺς ἀπίστους μεταπείθοντες πιστεῦσαι, ὡς τοὺς πάλαι ἐχθροὺς τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰρηνοποιουντες αὐτῷ. Ἅγιος Κύριλλος Ἀλεξανδρείας, Ἐξὴγησις Εἰς Τὸ Κατὰ Ματθαιον Εὐάγγελιον Source:  Migne PG 72.373c

Blessed are the peacemakers... 1   The peacemakers are those who win over the faithless to faith, making peace between the old enemies of God and Him. Saint Cyril of Alexandria, Commentary On The Gospel Of Saint Matthew, Fragment 1 Mt 5.9
