Mateus 6:5-6
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] Let it be enough for you that He alone know your petitions, who knows the secrets of all hearts; for He Who sees all things, the same shall listen to you. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Mateus 6:16
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] The reward of the hypocrites' fast is shown, when it is added, That they may seem to men to fast; verily I say unto you, They have their reward; that is, that reward for which they looked. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Mateus 6:17-18
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] The reward of the hypocrites' fast is shown, when it is added, That they may seem to men to fast; verily I say unto you, They have their reward; that is, that reward for which they looked. For it is enough for you that He who sees your conscience should be your rewarder. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Mateus 6:22-23
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (ap. Gloss. ord.) Otherwise; faith is likened to a light, because by it the goings of the inner man, that is, action, are lightened, that he should not stumble according to that, Thy word is a light to my feet. (Ps. 119:105.) If that then be pure and single, the whole body is light; but if defiled, the whole body will be dark. Yet otherwise; by the light may be understood the ruler of the Church, who may be well called the eye, as he it is that ought to see that wholesome things be provided for the people under him, which are understood by the body. If then the ruler of the Church err, how much more will the people subject to him err? — Catena Aurea by Aquinas

Mateus 6:28-30
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] Spiritually, by the birds of the air are meant the Saints who are born again in the water of holy Baptisme; and by devotion raise themselves above the earth and seek the skies. The Apostles are said to be of more value than these, because they are the heads of the Saints. By the lilies also may be understood the Saints, who without the toil of legal ceremonies pleased God by faith alone; of whom it is said, My Beloved, who feedeth among the lilies. (Cant. 2:16.) Holy Church also is understood by the lilies, because of the whiteness of its faith, and the odour of its good conversation, of which it is said in the same place, As the lily among the thorns. By the grass are denoted the unbelievers, of whom it is said, The grass hath dried up, and the flowers thereof faded. (Is. 40:7.) By the oven eternal damnation; so that the sense be, If God bestows temporal goods on the unbelievers, how much more shall He bestow on you eternal goods! — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Mateus 6:31
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] The Lord repeated this, that He might show how highly necessary this precept is, and that He might inculcate it more strongly on our hearts. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
