I am a son of St. Augustine, an Augustinian, who said: "I am a Christian with you and a bishop for you." In this sense we can all walk together towards that homeland that God has prepared for us.
One of the first signs of the beginnings of understanding is the wish to die. This life appears unbearable, another unattainable. One is no longer ashamed of wanting to die; one asks to be moved from the old cell, which one hates, to a new one, which one will only in time come to hate.
