What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Gregory the Dialogist
As in the days when God preserved me; when His lamp shined upon my head, and when by His light I walked through darkness. For then, persecution forcing thereto, she sees multitudes of the frail fall from her, whom now as a mother she cherishes as her little ones within the bosom of peace, and keeps close within the quiet cradles of faith, seeing that being mixed with the strong they are nurtured by the very tranquillity of the faith. …
Thomas Aquinas
In some things he had led me to good effects even beyond my own intention, and to express this he says, "when his lamp," his providence, "shone over my head," for he directed my mind toward many good things which my mind did not attain. In certain respects, however, he was directed by God as though instructed by him about what he ought to do, so he then says, "in his light," by his instruction, "I was walking," I was proceeding, "in darkness," in doubts.
