Pseudo-Jerome, on Luke 1:26
Luke 1:26 · Douay-Rheims
“And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,”
On this verse:
“(Hieron. vol. xi. 92. De Assumpt.) And rightly an angel is sent to the virgin, because the virgin state is ever akin to that of angels. Surely in the flesh to live beyond the flesh is not a life on earth but in heaven.”
