The Delight of Friendship
ll kinds of things
rejoiced my soul in their company--to talk and laugh, and to do other kindnesses;
to read pleasant books together; to pass from lightest jesting to talk
of the deepest things and back again; to differ without rancor, as persons
might differ with themselves, and when most rarely dissension arose, to
find our normal agreement all the sweeter for it; to teach each other and
to learn from each other.
These and such things kindled a flame that fused our very souls together and made us one out of many.
-- Confessions 4, 8
Prayer. Blessed are those who love you, O Lord, and love their friends in you and their enemies because of you.
-- Confessions 4, 9
