“Our years will be complete only when there are none left.
But Your years are a single day, and this day of Yours is not a daily recurrence, but a simple ‘Today,’ because your Today does not give way to tomorrow, nor follow yesterday.
Your Today is eternity.”
–Saint Augustine, The Confessions, Part I, ed. John E. Rotelle, trans. Maria Boulding, Second Edition, vol. 1, The Works of Saint Augustine: A Translation for the 21st Century (Hyde Park, NY: New City Press, 2012), 1: 295.
