Brightening The Eyes

Praeceptum Domini lucidum, illuminans oculos Revera lucidum, quia sincere purun el immaculatum, quale a Patre luminum prodire docet. Hoc iliuminat oculos, non istos carnales quos et pecora nobiscum possunt habere communes, sed illos utique interiores qui divino munere spiritualiter clarificantur. Cassiodorus, Expositio In Psalterium, Psalmus XVIII Source: Migne PL 70.141a

The commandment of the Lord is bright, illuminating the eyes. 1 Truly bright, he teaches, because perfectly pure and immaculate, as from the Father of lights. 1 This illuminates the eyes, but not the carnal eyes, not those which animals have in common with us, but those interior ones which are spiritually brightened by the Divine gift. Cassiodorus, Commentary On The Psalms, from Psalm 18 1 Ps 18.9 2 James 1.17
