Remigius of Auxerre, on Matt 2:9
Remigius of Auxerre · c. A.D. 841–908
Matt 2:9 · Douay-Rheims
“Who having heard the king, went their way; and behold the star which they had seen in the east, went before them, until it came and stood over where the child was.”
On this verse:
“Or, the star figures the grace of God, and Herod the Devil. He, who by sin puts himself in the Devil’s power, loses that grace; but if he return by repentance, he soon finds that grace again which leaves him not till it have brought him to the young Child’s house, i. e. the Church.”
