In today's Office of Readings we encounter a reading from a treatise on Matthew's Gospel by Saint Chromatius (- c.406 A.D.). Chromatius was Bishop of Aquileia, at the head of the Adriatic Sea, and died about 406-407. He was probably born at Aquileia, and in any case grew up there. He was one of the most celebrated prelates of his time and was in active correspondence with his illustrious contemporaries, St Ambrose, St Jerome, and Rufinus. Himself a scholarly theologian, he urged these three friends to the composition of many learned works. His own surviving works include a set of treatises on St Matthew’s Gospel and a homily on the Beatitudes (credit: Universalis.com).
