Apocalypse 21, 23.35) ... "The renewal of the world is irrevocably and in all reality, anticipated now" (Lumen Gentium No. 48). Thus, by faith we are taught even the meaning of our temporal life, to live with all creation, waiting for the manifestation of God's son.

"Your desire is thy prayers. If your desire is continual, your prayer is also continuous. If you do not want to stop praying, do not cease to desire. Your desire will be your constant voice continual . You will fall in silence if you let your love back. Cooling of love is the silence of the heart. The flame of love is the cry of the heart. If love remains ever constantly as you scream. If you scream incessantly, unceasingly as and if you want you want, you pray. "- Saint Augustine
