Scripture

Luke 1:38 (NRSVUE)

Then Mary said, "Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word." Then the angel departed from her.

Refrain

The eternal satisfies what nothing else can.

Quote

Augustine, from On Christian Doctrine

"A temporal thing is loved before we have it, and it grows worthless when we gain it, for it does not satisfy the soul. But the eternal is more ardently loved the more it is acquired. The soul will find the eternal even more valuable after once tasting it."
