Catena Aurea, Pentecost, Jn 15:26-27; 16:12-15 St. Augustine (354-430): As if He said, “Seeing Me, they hated and killed Me; but the Paracleteshall give such testimony concerning Me as shall make them believe, though they see Me not.” And because He shall testify, you shall testify also: And you also shall bear witness; He will […]
Catena Aurea, Easter 6B, Mk 16:15-20 The Venerable Bede (672/3-735): What shall we say here about infants, who by reason of their age cannot yet believe; for as to older persons there is no question.

Catena Aurea, Easter 5B, Jn 15:1-8 St. Augustine (354-430): For we cultivate God, and God cultivates us.

The Fathers of the Church on this Sunday’s Gospel: Jn 3:14-21 Theophylact of Ochrid (1055-1107): See then the aptness of the figure.

Catena Aurea, Lent 3B, Jn 2:13-25 Origen (182-253/4): Should it appear something out of the order of things, that the Son of God should make a scourge of small cords, to drive them out of the temple? We have one answer in which some take refuge, viz. the divine power of Jesus, Who, when He […]
