ome, follow me, says the Lord. Do you love? He has hastened on, he has flown on ahead. Look and see where.

O Christian, don't you know where your Lord has gone? I ask you: Don't you wish to follow him there? Through trials, insults, the cross, and death. Why do you hesitate? Look, the way has been shown you.

Prayer. O Lord my God, you alone do I love. You alone do I follow. You alone do I seek. You alone am I prepared to serve, for you alone justly rule, and under your authority I long to be.

From John E. Rotelle, O.S.A., Augustine Day by Day: Minute Meditations for Every Day Taken from the Writings of Saint Augustine. Catholic Book Publishing Co. New York, 1986.
