“And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.”

On this verse:

“(De Nupt. et Concup. i. 11.) In Christ’s parents was accomplished every good benefit of marriage, fidelity, progeny, and a sacrament. The progeny we see in the Lord Himself; fidelity, for there was no adultery; sacrament, for there was no divorce.”
