Mateus 5
Ambrose of Milan · Comentário Patrístico (catena)
Mateus 5:3
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (De Officiis i. 16.) In the eye of Heaven blessedness begins there where misery begins in human estimation. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Mateus 5:4
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (ubi sup.) When you have done thus much, attained both poverty and meekness, remember that you are a sinner, mourn your sins, as He proceeds, Blessed are they that mourn. And it is suitable that the third blessing should be of those that mourn for sin, for it is the Trinity that forgives sin. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Mateus 5:5
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (in Luc. c. v. 20.) When I have learned contentment in poverty, the next lesson is to govern my heart and temper. For what good is it to me to be without worldly things, unless I have besides a meek spirit? It suitably follows therefore, Blessed are the meek. (ubi sup.) Soften therefore your temper that you be not angry, at least that you be angry, and sin not. It is a noble thing to govern passion by reason; nor is it a less virtue to check anger, than to be entirely without anger, since one is esteemed the sign of a weak, the other of a strong, mind. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Mateus 5:6
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (ubi sup.) As soon as I have wept for my sins, I begin to hunger and thirst after righteousness. He who is afflicted with any sore disease, hath no hunger. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Mateus 5:8
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (in Luc. vi. 22.) The merciful loses the benefit of his mercy, unless he shows it from a pure heart; for if he seeks to have whereof to boast, he loses the fruit of his deeds; the next that follows therefore is, Blessed are the pure in heart. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Mateus 5:9
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (ubi sup.) When you have made your inward parts clean from every spot of sin, that dissentions and contentious may not proceed from your temper, begin peace within yourself, that so you may extend it to others. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Mateus 5:10
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (in Luc. vi. 23.) Otherwise; the first kingdom of heaven was promised to the Saints, in deliverance from the body; the second, that after the resurrection they should be with Christ. For after your resurrection you shall begin to possess the earth delivered from death, and in that possession shall find comfort. Pleasure follows comfort, and Divine mercy pleasure. But on whom God has mercy, him He calls, and he whom He calls, beholds Him that called him. He who beholds God is adopted into the rights of divine birth, and then at length as the son of God is delighted with the riches of the heavenly kingdom. The first then begins, the last is perfected. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Mateus 5:14
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (non occ.) And therefore let none shut up his faith within the measure of the Law, but have recourse to the Church in which the grace of the sevenfold Spirit shines forth. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
