The apostle Paul says, “no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ” (1 Cor 3:11).
When a foundation is laid on earth, the walls are built above,
and the weight of the walls tends towards the lowest parts,
because the foundation is laid at the bottom.
But if our foundation be in heaven, let us be built towards heaven.
Bodies have built the edifice of this basilica, the ample size of which you see;
and since bodies have built it, they placed the foundation lowest.
But since we are spiritually built, our foundation is placed at the highest point.
Let us therefore run thither, where we may be built
St. Augustine
