it is never too late

"...there are so many troubles and problems [in the ecclesia] that are neither obvious or easy, and that need patience over long periods. And there is no better recipe for meeting one's own frustrations than to be active in helping others to cope with theirs. It is never too late for us, individually and ecclesially, to widen and deepen our spiritual education and fellowship so that we are the better able to feed Christ's lambs, filling the lives of the lonely with companionship, the homes of the aged with the warmth of youthful service, and the minds of these who are anxious, troubled or strained, with the assurance of all the help that they may need."
