Peter Chrysologus, on Matt 28:8
Peter Chrysologus · c. A.D. 380–450
Matt 28:8 · Douay-Rheims
“And they went out quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy, running to tell his disciples.”
On this verse:
“(Serm. 76.) That in these women is contained a full figure of the Church is shewn hereby, that Christ convinces His disciples when in doubt concerning the Resurrection, and confirms them when in fear; and when He meets them He does not terrify them by His power, but prevents them with the ardour of love. And Christ in His Church salutes Himself, for He has taken it into His own Body.”
