Ambrose of Milan, on Gen 2:24

Ambrose of Milan · A.D. 339–397
Gen 2:24 · Douay-Rheims
“Wherefore a man shall leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they shall be two in one flesh.”
On this verse:
“If the union of Adam and Eve is a great mystery in Christ and in the church, it is certain that as Eve was bone of the bones of her husband and flesh of his flesh, we also are members of Christ's body, bones of his bones and flesh of his flesh.”
