St. Augustine of Hippo





If after examining your conscience you find that you are among the weeds, don’t be afraid to change. The order has not yet been given to cut the field down; the harvest has not yet come. Don’t be today what you were yesterday, and don’t be tomorrow what you are today. (Sermon 5, 2 Caillou)
By examining our habits of mind we will change beyond the inevitable becoming ill, aging, and dying. Perhaps through this attention we can resurrect our true selves.
