Augustine Of Hippo Quotes

What Is A Valley Of Tears? He Was Scourged, Covered With Spittle, Crowned With Thorns, Nailed To The Cross. From This Valley Of Tears You Must Ascend. But Ascend Where? 'In The Beginning Was The Word, And The Word Was With God, And The Word Was God' (Jn 1:1). For He Himself, The 'Word Was Made Flesh And Dwelt Among Us.' Abiding In Himself, He Descended To You. He Descended To You So As To Become For You A Valley Of Tears; He Abode In Himself So As To Be For You A Mountain Of Ascent. And 'In The Days To Come,' Said Isaiah, 'the Mountain Of The Lord Shall Tower Above The Hills' (Is 2:2). It Is There We Must Ascend.
