TO RETURN TO THE FATHER’S HOUSE. EPHREM THE SYRIAN:

“Jacob led out his sheep And brought them to his father’s home; A symbol for those with discernment, A parable for those with perception Is to be found in this homecoming:

Let us too return to our Father’s house, My brothers, and do not become captivated with desire For this transient earth -for your true city is in Eden. Blessed indeed is that person Who has seen his dear ones in its midst.” HYMNS ON PARADISE 14,7
