What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Bede
Two breasts, etc. We have spoken abundantly about this verse above; but now it should be briefly recalled that rightly after the belly of the bride, her breasts are commended, because indeed the holy Church offers milk to her little ones, whom she generates in Christ from the sacrosanct womb of the saving water, from the nourishment of the neophytes, with gentler doctrine, until she gradually instructs them to receive the bread of higher wisdom. …
Robert of Tombelaine
The two breasts are two peoples: because while they always live in fraternal love, they nourish one another with the milk of piety in charity. They are fittingly called two fawns, twins of a gazelle: because while begotten in faith through the preaching of the Synagogue, they are nourished in its Scriptures, directing themselves toward the hope of eternity, they feed in harmony as if upon the mountains.
