We ought never to forget, beloved, that we have renounced the world. We are living here now as aliens and only for a time.

What man, stationed in a foreign land, would not want to return to his own country as soon as possible? Well, we look upon paradise as our country, and a great crowd of our loved ones awaits us there, a countless throng of parents, brothers and children longs for us to join them.
