Book Two of Homilies on the Gospels
Number One Hundred Eleven of Cistercian Studies Series

“Those who read or listen to the signs and miracles of our Lord and Savior properly do not receive them in such a way that they pay attention to what in them produces outward astonishment, but instead they consider what they themselves ought to be doing inwardly, following the example of these [signs], and what mystical truths they ought to be pondering in these [stories]. For behold. as the Passover, the Jews’ festival day, was drawing near, our Lord provided encouragement for the multitude that was following him by his words of salvation, together with the help of cures.”
—“Homily II.2”
