Death must be endured, if necessary, for the sake of the faith, as this is the highest degree of charity. (Worthington)
He, &c. Hebrew, "is prepared for the beloved above the," &c. See Homer, Odyssey v. 660. (Calmet)
Protestants and Pagnin, "the midst thereof being paved (Montanus, set on fire) with love for (Montanus, by) the daughters." (Haydock)
The most desirable things adorn the litter, or the Church, that all may come to her, who has God to guide her decisions. (Menochius)
