What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
Methodius of Olympus
Thou art He who, for our salvation, was made the head stone of the corner, precious and honourable, declared before to Sion.
Western Saints
Bede
And everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame. Because of this, he states what he said: And you, as living stones, are being built up. It fittingly agrees with the apostle's words: coming to a living stone or believing in him, you will not be put to shame; and with the verse from the psalm, where it is said: Draw near to him and be enlightened (Psalm 34), immediately followed by, And your faces shall not be ashamed (Ibid.). …
Bonaventure
The blessed Virgin on account of her sanctity, piety, and sublimity had a crown of precious stone. Who is this stone? Certainly Christ. Whence blessed Peter: "Behold, I shall place in the foundation a precious stone." The blessed Virgin was crowned with this stone in the flesh: seeing in the flesh the glorified body of Christ, seeing in spirit his glorified soul, and in mind his Divinity. Christ was crowned first, and she afterward.
