My Mother is in a Hospice Home named “The Pillars”. I am told the name refers to some thing in the bible. I am just curious. What is in the bible concerning “The Pillars”?

Ver. 1.House.The sacred humanity, (St. Ignatius; St. Augustine, City of God xvii. 20.) or the Church. (St. Gregory, Mor. xxxiii. 15.) — Here we may receiveallinstruction, the seven sacraments, and the gifts of the Holy Ghost. Pleasure had mentioned her attractions: now those of true wisdom are set before us. (Calmet) — God sent his pastors at all times, to invite people to embrace the latter. They are all included in the number*seven,*both before and under the law, as well as in the gospel, where St. Paul styles Sts. Peter, James, and John,*pillars,Galatians ii. This is the literal sense, on which the mystical is grounded, and both are intended by the Holy Ghost, intimating that the uncreated wisdom took flesh of the blessed Virgin Mary, prepared the table of bread and wine, as Priest according to the order of Melchisedec, and chose the weak of this world to confound the strong, as St. Augustine explains this passage. (Sup. and q. 51.) (Worthington)

It may also be a reference to:

1Sam.2[8] He raises up the poor from the dust;
he lifts the needy from the ash heap,
to make them sit with princes
and inherit a seat of honor.
For the pillars of the earth are the LORD’S,
and on them he has set the world.

There are many references to pillars in Scripture. If you want to know which one the hospice’s name is based on, you may want to ask the hospice’s administrator. Just a thought. 🙂

Revelation 3:12 “The victor I will make into a pillar in the temple of my God”

Galatians 2:9 “James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars”

Ephesians 2:19 “So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the holy ones and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the capstone. Through him the whole structure is held together and grows into a temple sacred in the Lord”
