If poverty pinches, if grief saddens, if pain overcomes us, if exile darkens our life, if any other misfortune fills us with foreboding, let there be good friends at hand who know how to “weep with them that weep” as well as “rejoice with them that rejoice.” With such good friends such bitter trials are lessened, the heavy burdens are lightened, the obstacles are met and overcome.

—Augustine, Letter 130.2.4

I have said it before and I will say it again. Let God love you through his people.
