A story is told about an old parishioner of St. Jean Vianney (The Cure of Ars) who used to spend a lot of time alone in church. St. Jean became curious about him and asked him one day, "Why do you spend so much time sitting in church? What do you think about?" The old man answered, "Oh, I just look at him, he looks at me, and we are happy together."
