Whoever these immortal and blessed inhabitants of heaven be, if they do not love us and wish us to be blessed, then we ought not to worship them; and if they do love us and desire our happiness, they cannot wish us to be made happy by any other means than they themselves have enjoyed--for how could they wish our blessedness to flow from one source, theirs from another?

- Saint Augustine, “The City of God”
