Grace And Peace

Gratia et pax multiplicetur. Ut quod bene coepistis, perfecte compleatis. Bene primo gratiam, postea nominat pacem, quia sine gratia Christi ad pacem reconciliationis pervenire non possumus, imo nihil pacificum, nisi per gratiam ejus habere valemus. Sancta Beda,  In Primam Epistolam Sancti Petri, Caput Primum Source: Migne PL 93 42

May grace and peace abound. 1 That what you begin well, perfectly you complete. And well is grace put first and peace named after, because without the grace of Christ we are not able to come to the peace of reconciliation; nothing makes peace unless through His grace we are able to acquire it. Saint Bede, from the Commentary on the First Letter of Peter, Chap 1 1 1 Pet 1. 2
