Patristic Catena Aurea: Gospel of Matthew, as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Matthew 5:43-48

Pseudo-Augustine, on Matt 5:43

Matt 5:43 · Douay-Rheims
“You have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thy enemy.”
On this verse:
“(Hil. Quæst. V. and N. Test. q. 68.) And the souls of them that are slain cry out to be avenged; as the blood of Abel cried out of the ground not with a voice, but in spirit1. As the work is said to laud the workman, when he delights himself in the view thereof; for the saints are not so impatient as to urge on what they know will come to pass at the appointed time.”
