Thoughts
February 10th
My faith, which you have enkindled before my feet in the night, says to it: “Why are you sad, O my soul, and why do you trouble me? Hope in the Lord. His word is a lamp unto your feet.” Hope and persevere, until the night, the mother of the wicked, passes, until the anger of the Lord passes – “until the day breaks and the shadows retire”.
Confessiones XIII, 14,15
