“Let us take refuge from this world. You can do this in spirit, even  if you are kept here in the body. You can at the same time be here and  present to the Lord. Your soul must hold fast to him, you must follow after him in your thoughts, you must tread his ways by faith, not in outward show.”

~St. Ambrose of Milan
