How long wilt thou turn thy face from me? (Ps. 13:1)
"He asks for the appearance of Christ...for that face deigned to save the world. In this way both his longing for God's love was shown and his charity toward his neighbor was clearly fulfilled, since he continually begged for what he knew was beneficial to all. Both are joined in partnership with each other; God cannot be loved without neighbor, nor neighbor without God." (Cassiodorus, Explanation of the Psalms)
