Hilary of Poitiers
Catena Aurea · Matthäusevangelium 5
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Or, the lamp, i. e. Christ Himself, is set on its stand when He was suspended on the Cross in His passion, to give light for ever to those that dwell in the Church; to give light, He says, to all that are in the house.
