Why persist in walking difficult and toilsome paths? There is no repose where you are seeking it. Search as you like, it is not where you are looking. You are seeking a happy life in the realm of death, and it will not be found there. How could life be happy where there is no life at all?

Saint Augustine
Image
By means of corporal and temporal things we may comprehend the eternal and the spiritual.
