The peace of God which He grants to men surpasses every understanding and every word; for who could expect or hope for such things to happen? … He did not spare His only begotten Son for the sake of His enemies who hate Him and persisted on forsaking Him; in order to make peace with us. This peace namely the reconciliation and the love of God which guard our hearts and minds. (St. John Chrysostom)
