Augustine, Expositions on the Psalms, 70, from 2.6 to 7
Say Adam and Adam put in every man: When I want to be like you disorderly, that's what I become! That at least yell at you from my prison! I, I could live so well in the good king, I became a prisoner and slave of my charmer. I cry to you because I fell away from you. And why I fell away from you? Why disorderly aspired to be like you ... The man, if he wants to be something, you must turn to the person from whom it was created. Away from it, in fact, it freezes, heats approaching. Leaving it darkens; approaching lights. Because only with the one from which he had the `be, you can also find his own good. In fact, that his youngest son who wanted to have to his talent of its assets, so well preserved for him in the caskets of his father, once impadronitosene, left for a distant region, joined to a prince and had bad feed the pigs. Luckily, hungry, rinse, fill in that he had been away for pride. Well, anyone who wants to be like God, remains at his side. Trust in him, as it is written, its strength. Do not turn away from him! Joining him is marked by its imprint as the wax ring is marked by `: 'has the image of him laying in itself. Perform what is written: For me it `s really good thing to be united with God (Ps 72.28). So really guard the similarity of the image according to which it was created.
