29 And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you:


Commentarius in hunc versum  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 29. And this is the eternal law of Divine Order as to the purification of the external man in the holy state of faith and charity, in the course of regeneration, when remains of good and truth are to be fully implanted there, through victory in temptations and thence the realization of heavenly peace and rest. And this is applicable alike to the man of the internal church and the man of the external.
