Change People, and Times Will Be Changed

ou say, the times are troublesome, the times are burdensome, the times are miserable. Live rightly and you will change the times.

The times have never hurt anyone. Those who are hurt are human beings; those by whom they are hurt are also human beings. So, change human beings and the times will be changed.

-- Sermon 311, 8

Prayer. Let my soul rouse itself, Lord, from weariness, lean on your creation and hobble toward you who made it all. For in you we are remade and find true strength.

-- Confessions 5, 1
