119. Let us consider some other
points. When about to promise the kingdom of heaven, Jesus went
up into a mountain. At another time He leads His disciples
through the corn-fields, when about to sow in their minds the crop of
heavenly precepts, so that a plentiful harvest of souls should
ripen. When about to consummate the work of the flesh which He
had taken, having now seen perfection in His disciples, whom He had
established upon the root of His words, He enters a garden, that He
might plant the young olive-trees Ps. cxxviii.
[cxxvii.] 3. in the
house of the Lord, and that He might water the just flourishing like a
palm-tree, Ps. xcii.
[xci.] 12. and the
fruitful vine with the stream of His Blood.
