Rabanus Maurus, on Matt 12:43
Rabanus Maurus · c. A.D. 780–856
Matt 12:43 · Douay-Rheims
“And when an unclean spirit is gone out of a man he walketh through dry places seeking rest, and findeth none.”
On this verse:
“Or, the dry places are the hearts of the faithful, which after they have been purged from the weakness of loose thoughts, the crafty lier-in-wait tries if by any means he may fix his footsteps there; but flying from the chaste spirit, the Devil finds no resting-place to his mind but in the heart of the wicked; as it follows, and findeth none.”
