What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Gregory the Dialogist
Who taketh away the stars of rain, and poureth forth showers like whirlpools. There are two kinds of just persons in this life; one, namely, of those who live uprightly, but teach nothing; another, of those who live uprightly, and teach accordingly. As in the face of heaven some stars come forth, which no storms succeed: and others come forth, which water the thirsty earth with great showers. …
Thomas Aquinas
He shows next the magnitude of the works of God which exceed human reason, listing different changes in the air which is sometimes disposed to dryness. Concerning this he says, "He bears the drops of rain," by preventing it from raining. Sometimes, however, the air is filled with rain, and he describes this abundance saying, "he pours showers like torrents" which flow on the land.
