“Mercy and truth meet: Justice and peace embrace.” Do justice, and you shall have peace; that justice and peace may embrace. For if you do not love justice, you shall not have peace; for those two love one another, so that the one who has done justice may find peace.
Ask everyone, do you desire peace? With one voice the whole human race answers: I wish, I desire, I want, I love peace. Love also justice: for these two, justice and peace are friends; they embrace: if you do not also love the friend of peace, peace itself will not love you, nor come to you.”
Augustine’s commentary on Psalm 85
