Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, brought peace, reconciling man to God and to one another.

Christ wished his Apostles peace at the Last Supper: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you” (Jn 14:27).

The very first thing Christ said to his Apostles when he rose from the dead was, “Peace be with you” (Jn 20:21).
