Zechariah 9:17

17 For what is his goodness and what is his beauty, other than grain among the elect and wine springing forth virgins? ^{▼▼9:17 The corn, etc: His most excellent gift is the blessed Eucharist, called here The corn, that is, the bread of the elect, and the wine springing forth virgins; that is, makes virgins to bud, or spring forth, as it were, like flowers among thorns; because it has a wonderful efficacy to give and preserve purity.(Challoner)}
