135. For what comfort have I left but that I hope
to come quickly to thee, my brother,
and that thy departure will not cause a
long severance between us, and that it may be granted me, through thy
intercessions, that thou mayest quickly call me who long for
thee. For who is there who ought not to wish for himself beyond
all else that “this corruptible should put on incorruption, and
this mortal put on immortality”? 1 Cor. xv. 53.
that we who succumb to death through the frailty of the body, being
raised above nature, may no longer have to fear
death.
