This is the way our fathers and mothers in the Faith read the Psalter: "What am I to say of the grace of prophecy? We see that what others hinted at in riddles was promised openly and clearly to the psalmist alone: the Lord Jesus was to be born of his seed, According to the word of the Lord, “I will place upon your throne one who is the fruit of your flesh. In the Psalms, then, not only is Jesus born for us, He also undergoes His saving passion in His body; He lies in death; He rises again; He ascends into heaven; He sits at the right hand of the Father. What no man would have dared to say was indeed foretold by the Psalmist alone, and afterward proclaimed by the Lord Himself in the Gospel. + ---from “The Explanations of the Psalms” by St. Ambrose, bishop of Milan ---from today’s Office of Readings
