From the tome Daily Breviary Meditations: Meditations for Every Day on the Scriptural Lessons of the Roman Breviary, in accordance with the Encyclical "Divino Afflante," vol. 1, written by His Excellency the Most Rev. Joseph Angrisani, Bishop of Casale-Monferrato, and translated by Rev. Father Joseph A. McMullin of St. Charles Seminary at Philadelphia, PA (New York: Benziger Brothers, Inc., 1954), here is a commentary upon the lessons of occurring Scripture at Matins for Ember Friday in Advent.

Although these beautiful and edifying reflections were written for clerics, layfolk may gain exceeding great benefit therefrom, especially since the prayerful reading of these commentaries upon Holy Writ may enable the interior soul to enter unto the profundity and behold the sublimity of the sacred Mysteries that the Lord God has vouchsafed us in the selfsame Sacred Scriptures.
