What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Gregory the Dialogist
By what way is the light scattered? The heat is divided over the earth. For He in truth is the way, Who says, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The light is, therefore, scattered by this way, because all the Gentile world is enlightened by His presence. But He rightly said, Is scattered, because the light of preaching was not contracted or confined, but shone forth with its brightness far and wide by the voices of the Apostles. …
Thomas Aquinas
After a storm of snow and hail ends, a calm follows in which warm and clear air is prepared, and so he says, "By what path does light scatter?" which expresses the clear air, "and heat is divided upon the earth," which expresses warm weather. Here we should consider that before when he spoke about light and the luminaries themselves in which light dwells, he mentioned only their path because the light wends its way through the motion of the luminaries, whether in a storm or calm. …
Bonaventure
But by what way does grace descend into men? Job asks, saying: "By what way is light spread, and heat divided upon the earth?" I respond and say that grace descends upon rational minds through the Word incarnate, through the Word crucified, and through the Word inspired.
