What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
Cyril of Alexandria
He bore our sins in his body on the cross, and as he lay there, we were saved, and his sufferings became for us like a safe place and a protecting wall. He suffered outside the city so that he could sanctify the people with his own blood. Therefore … the suffering of Christ and his precious cross and the nailing of his hands became safety and an impregnable wall without any breach for those who believe in him. …
Western Saints
Thomas Aquinas
905. And first, as to the rebuilding of its walls, he sets out the divine intention: behold, I have graven you in my hands, as if to say: I hold you so in memory as one writes or makes some sign in his hand so that he may remember something; your walls are always before my eyes, as if to say: already I see the rebuilding of your walls: in his hands he hides (Job 36:32); a thousand years before your eyes (Ps 89:4).
