St. Augustine, Ennarationes in Psalmos 37.14 (v. 10), trans. Maria Boulding, O.S.B., WSA III/16 (Hyde Park, NY: New City Press, 2000), 156-157. Heading from the translation in the Liturgy of the hours (Office of readings, Friday, Third Week of Advent).
"Et ante te est omne
desiderium meum. Non enim ante
homines, qui cor videre non possunt: sed
ante te est omne desiderium meum. Sit desiderium tuum ante illum; et Pater qui
videt in occult, reddet tibi (Matth. vi, 6).
Ipsum enim desiderium tuum, oratio tua est: et si continuum desiderium, continua
oratio. Non enim frustra dixit
Apostolous, Sine intermissione orantes
(1 Thess. V, 17)."
PL 36, col. 404. Cf. the new critical edition in CSEL 93, ed. Clemens Weidmann (2003- ), as well as CCSL 39, ed. Eligius Dekkers and Iohannes Fraipont (1956).
