AUGUSTINE. (de Nov.
ac vet, Test. c. 73.) Or by this is signified that Mary also, through whom was
performed the mystery of the incarnation, looked with doubt and astonishment at
the death of her Lord, seeing the Son of God so humbled as to come down even to
death. And as a sword passing close by a man causes fear, though it does not
strike him; so doubt also causes sorrow, yet does not kill; for it is not
fastened to the mind, but passes through it as through a shadow. (Thomas
Aquinas, Catena Aurea: Commentary on the Four Gospels, Collected out of the
Works of the Fathers, ed. John Henry Newman, 4 vols. [Oxford: John Henry
Parker, 1843], 3:90–91)
