There is still time for endurance,
time for patience,
time for healing,
time for change.
Have you slipped?
Rise up!
Have you sinned?
Cease!
Do not stand among sinners
but leap aside!”

Father and Doctor of the Church
“Today, for those who will not repent
at the approach of the kingdom of heaven,
the reproof of the Lord Jesus is the same…
As for when the end of the world will be,
that is God’s concern…
Even so, the time is very near for each of us,
for we are mortal.”
St Augustine (354-430)
Father & Doctor of Grace
“Brethren, the just man shall scarcely be saved.
What, then, will become of the sinner?”
