Church Fathers on 1 Thessalonians 5:27

Oh! What fervor! Oh! What mad passion is here! Because being absent he could not greet them with the kiss, he greets them through others, as when we say, Kiss him for me. So also do you yourselves retain the fire of love. For it does not admit of distances, but even through long intervening ways it extends itself, and is everywhere present. And this command is rather from love, and not so much in the way of teaching; that with them also, he means, I may be conversing.
