"Let us run to accompany him as he hastens toward Jerusalem, and imitate
those who met him then, not by covering his path with garments, olive
branches or palms, but by doing all we can to prostrate ourselves before
him by being humble and by trying to live as he would wish. Then we
shall be able to receive the Word at his coming, and God, whom no limits
can contain, will be within us."
-St Andrew of Crete
(in today's office of reading)
