Matthew 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.
Remigius of Auxerre
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.
