Leo the Great · c. A.D. 400–461
Matt 2:10 · Douay-Rheims
“And seeing the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.”
On this verse:
“(Serm. in Epiph. s. 4. 3.) Though in stature a babe, needing the aid of others, unable to speak, and different in nothing from other infants, yet such faithful witnesses, shewing the unseen Divine Majesty which was in Him, ought to have proved most certainly that that was the Eternal Essence of the Son of God that had taken upon Him the true human nature.”
