Matthew 24:29 Douay-Rheims

And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven shall be moved:

George Leo Haydock

1774–1849 Catholic

The sun shall be darkened, &c. These seem to be the dreadful signs that shall forerun the day of judgment. — The stars shall fall, not literally, but shall give no light. (Witham) — According to St. Augustine, by the sun is meant Jesus Christ; by the moon, the Church, which will appear as involved in darkness.
