Not Knowing The Way Of Peace


Et viam pacis non cognoverunt.

Via pacis lenis est et inturbata; omnis enim bona vita tranquilla est et actus modesti ipsi sunt pacifici, et per istos itur ad Deum. Illi ergo nolentes haec scire, elegerunt viam tribulationum, per quam itur in gehennam.


Ambrosiaster, In Epistolam Ad Romanos, Caput III

Source: Migne PL 17 77
They have not known the way of peace. 1

The way of peace is easy and untroubled, for every good life is tranquil and the deeds of the humble are peaceful, and by them is the way to God. They, then, who do not wish to know this, they have chosen the way of tribulation, by which is the way to hell.


Ambrosiaster, from the Commentary On The Epistle of Saint Paul To The Romans, Chapter 3

1 Rom 3.13
