The Little Ones

Quaestio 1 Quod dictum est: Occisos infantes a bimatu et infra, significatum est humiles habentes geminam caritatem, tamquam parvulos bimos posse mori pro Christo. Sanctus Augustinus Hipponensi, Quaestionum Septendecim In Evangelium Secundum Matthaeum Source: Migne PL 35.1365

Question 1 When it is said, 'Killing the babes two years old and less,' 1 here is signified those humble ones who have the twofold love, 2 just as those two year old little ones who were able to die for Christ. Saint Augustine of Hippo, Seventy Questions On The Gospel Of Matthew 1 Mt 2.16 2 Mt 22.37-40
