Augustine of Hippo — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on John 20:10-18

Patristic A.D. 430
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
“(Tr. cxxi) But she, thinking that they wanted to know why she wept, tells them the reason: She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord. The lifeless body of her Lord, she calls her Lord, putting the part for the whole; just as we confess that Jesus Christ the Son of God was buried, when only His flesh was buried. And I know not where they have placed Him: it was a still greater grief, that she did not know where to go to console her grief.”
