Starting from the double understanding of peregrinatio as exile and pilgrimage in Augustine, this research aims to investigate the Augustinian motif sursum cor and to discuss its sources and its meanings. I examine the relationship of this motif with the topic of spiritual senses and with the role of the heart for the way of purification of the passion and of the ascent of the human being toward God. Conceived as a pilgrimage toward the Kingdom of Heavens or the eternal Jerusalem, this ascent to God is also suggested in the liturgical use of the formula sursum cor. This study connects the examination of the liturgical practice, which integrates this formula in the Church of Hippo, with ecclesial and eschatological considerations in Augustine’s view.
