Holy Scripture

Psalms 87:2

A church father on this verse
“We ought to know that what we have interpreted of the Church can be understood also of our soul. For if Zion is interpreted as a watchtower, and our soul in no other way but always considers higher things: the true church, the true temple of Christ is nothing other than the human soul. The Church of Christ is nothing…”
Jerome, 5th c. — Homily 18, on Psalm 86
