Awake! Why do you sleep, O Lord? Rise up! Do not reject us forever! Why do you hide your face; why forget our pain and misery? For our soul has been humiliated in the dust; our belly is pressed to the earth. Rise up, help us! (Psalm 44:24-27)
Christ suffered; let us die to sin. Christ arose; let us live for God. Christ left this world to go to the Father; let not our heart cleave to anything here, but follow him to heaven.
Our Head hung on the cross; let us crucify the desire of the flesh. He lay in the tomb; let us be buried with him and forget the things of the past. He is seated in heaven; let us transfer our desire to the things above.
Of his kingdom there will be no end; let us not fear the end of this life at all, for by his wounds we were healed (Isaiah 53:5).
-- Saint Augustine of Hippo
