What the Fathers say

Esther 8:16

Western Saints

Bonaventure

In the tropological sense, the sun has four faces. The first is the grace of the Holy Spirit, as in Esther: "The light and the sun rose up: and the humble were exalted," that is, when God lives in us through grace. Hence, as the sun sheds its light continuously, so must the soul continuously receive illuminations from the grace of the Holy Spirit.
