Catena Aurea: Commentary On the Four Gospels Collected Out of the Works of the Fathers: Volumes 1 to 4 (Illustrated);

— A Classic — Includes Active Table of Contents — Includes Religious Illustrations

As the Son of God came down from heaven, not only to be our Redeemer, but our teacher; not only to ransom us with the effusion of His precious blood, but to enlighten us with these saving truths, the knowledge of which, joined to firm and unhesitating faith, He has made an indispensable condition of salvation, it must be ever a subject of the deepest spiritual interest, to place these truths in as clear a light as possible. Whether this Commentary may serve in any way to advance this end, must be left to others to decide.
