Mateus 1:18

[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (Serm. 148.) If you are not confounded when you hear of the birth of God, let not His conception disturb you, seeing the pure virginity of the mother removes all that might shock human reverence. And what offence against our awe and reverence is there, when the Deity entered into union with purity that was always dear to Him, where an Angel is mediator, faith is bridemaid, where chastity is the giving away, virtue the gift, conscience the judge, God the cause; where the conception is inviolateness, the birth virginity, and the mother a virginq. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas

Mateus 1:20

[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] As her betrothed husband also he is admonished not to be afraid; for the mind that compassionates has most fear; as though he were to say, Here is no cause of death, but of life; she that brings forth life, does not deserve death. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas

Mateus 1:21

[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] Let them approach to hear this, who ask, Who is He that Mary bare? He shall save His people; not any other man's people; from what? from their sins. That it is God that forgives sins, if you do not believe the Christians so affirming, believe the infidels, or the Jews who say, None can forgive sins but God only. (Luke 5:1.) — Catena Aurea by Aquinas

Mateus 1:22-23

Mateus 1:25

Where are they who think that the Virgin's conception and giving birth to her child are to be likened to those of other women... The Virgin conceives, the Virgin brings forth her child, and she remains a virgin. — SERMON 117: The First Adam, and the Last Adam, Born of a Virgin
