Types Of Sickness

Et accesserunt ad eum turbæ multæ, habentes secum mutos, cæcos, claudos, debiles, et alios multos: et projecerunt eos ad pedes ejus, et curavit eos... Quod turbae obtulerunt Domino mutos, qui eum non laudant, vel non confitentur fidem; caecos, qui non intelligunt, etiamsi obtemperant jubentibis; surdos, qui non obtemperant etiamsi intelligunt; claudos, qui praecepta non implent. Sanctus Augustinus Hipponensi, Questiones in Evangelium Secundum Matthaeum, Liber Primus, XIX Source: Migne PL 35 1327

'Great multitudes came to Him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the deaf, the crippled, and many others, whom they laid at His feet; and He healed them...  1 Those presented to the Lord mute are those who neither praise nor make profession of faith; blind, those who do not understand, even if they do obey their superiors; deaf, those who do not obey, even if they do understand; lame, those who do not keep the commandments. Saint Augustine of Hippo, Questions on the Gospel of Saint Matthew, Book 1, 19 1 Mt 15.30
