"Let us this very day begin anew, and now say, with all our hearts, we will forsake our sins and be righteous."

Previous Quote

That your enemies have been created is God's doing; that they hate you and wish to ruin you is their own doing. What should you say about them in your mind? "Lord be merciful to them, forgive them their sins, put the fear of God in them, change them!" You are loving in them not what they are, but what you would have them to become.

— Saint Augustine
