Augustine of Hippo, on Matt 14:22
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Matt 14:22 · Douay-Rheims
“And forthwith Jesus obliged his disciples to go up into the boat, and to go before him over the water, till he dismissed the people.”
On this verse:
“(ubi sup.) But while Christ prays on high, the boat is tossed with great waves in the deep; and forasmuch as the waves rise, that boat can be tossed; but because Christ prays, it cannot be sunk. Think of that boat as the Church, and the stormy sea as this world.”
