Mark 1:12 Douay-Rheims

And immediately the Spirit drove him out into the desert.

Bede the Venerable

c. A.D. 672–735 Patristic

(ubi sup.) Consider also that Christ dwells among the wild beasts as man, but, as God, uses the ministry of Angels. Thus, when in the solitude of a holy life we bear with unpolluted mind the bestial manners of men, we merit to have the ministry of Angels, by whom, when freed from the body, we shall be transferred to everlasting happiness.
