Isaiah 40:3
Douay-Rheims
The voice of one crying in the desert: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the wilderness the paths of our God.
John Chrysostom
Do you see that both by the words of the prophet and by his own preaching, this one and only thing is manifested, that he came, making a way and preparing beforehand, not bestowing the gift, which was the remission, but ordering in good time the souls of such as should receive the God of all?
