"I implore you to love with me and, by believing, to run with me; let us long for our heavenly country, let us sigh for our heavenly home, let us truly feel that here we are strangers. What then shall we see? Let the gospel tell us: In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God ... When we part from one another, let us not depart from him"
(from 'a treatise on John by St. Augustine, bishop' in The Liturgy of the Hours: IV, 593)
