Quote

You are surprised that the world is losing its grip? That the world is grown old? Don't hold onto the old man, the world don't refuse to regain your youth in Christ, who says to you: 'The world is passing away the world is losing its grip the world is short of breath. Don't fear, your youth shall be renewed as an eagle.'

Saint Augustine
