This Catena is the longest yet by far and probably the richest in literal exegesis. Questions raised in the course of the commentary include, Were there only three in the Magis' company or is that a symbolic number? Where were they from? How did they get to Bethlehem so quickly if they were from far away? And many more.

Cuius Gratia
This blog complemented the "Faith of Our Fathers" course I taught at the Cathedral in Anchorage, Alaska. Selections from St. Thomas's masterful Catena Aurea follow along the Sunday Gospels and those of major feastdays. Making use of Cardinal Newman's team translation, I have updated the style somewhat and polished the translation when necessary. Here, as in the course, dear to our heart is Cardinal Newman's hope that the Catena become a source of catechesis within the family and local church.

Many greatest thanks to you for this resource.
I'll place a link on my blog and plug it into my RCIA classes for them to utulize as well.
