"So, brethren, rejoice in the Lord, not in the world. That is, rejoice in the truth, not in wickedness;
rejoice in the hope of eternity, not in the fading flower of vanity. That is the way to rejoice. Wherever you are on earth, however long you
remain on earth, the Lord is near, do not
be anxious about anything."
"Ita gaudete: et
ubicumque, et quamdiucumque hic fueritis, Dominus
in proximo est, nihil solliciti fueritis."
St. Augustine, Sermo 171.5 =PL 38, col. 935 (933-935), as translated in the Office of Readings for St. Philip Neri.
