When this inner peace abides on the inside all the persecutions provoked by the ruler of this world from the outside would not be able to shake that well-established building; But the strength of the building on the inside will lead to the failure of the devil on the outside; The Lord says: Blessed

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)
