e rooted in one’s reconciliation with God. Jesus’ bestowal of peace is prominen

t in Luke (7:50; 8:48; 19:38; Jn 14:27). See note on Mt 5:9. with whom he is pleased: Similar words resurface at Jesus’ Baptism in Lk 3:22. This suggests a link between the two episodes: those baptized i

nto Christ are those who are pleasing and at peace with God (Acts 2:38-41; Rom 5:1; Eph 2:11-19) (CCC 537).
