"Truly, it is the indescribable sweetness of contemplation which you give to those who love you. In this you have shown the tenderness of your charity, that when I had no being you made me; and when I strayed away from you, you brought me back again to serve you and commanded me to love you." The Imitation of Christ

I always sit up front because I can take photos more easily... but there were plenty of people behind me (the Epistle side of our church always seems more popular than the Gospel side...
