What the Fathers say

Isaiah 60:20

Western Saints

Thomas Aquinas

He also sets out the eternity of its governor: your sun, which is God, shall go down no more: but you are always the selfsame, and your years shall not fail (Ps 101:28[102:27]). And the days of your mourning shall be ended. This as to the state of their subjects. And first, he sets out the ending of their sadness: and the days of your mourning, their captivity. Mystically, in future beatitude: God shall wipe away all tears from the eyes of the saints (Rev 21:4), above: the Lord God shall wipe away tears (Isa 25:8).
