“It is not the Gospel that changes; it is we who begin to understand it better…The moment has arrived when we must recognize the signs of the times, seize the opportunity, and look far ahead.” --St. John XXIII, d June 3 1963 (icon Robert Lentz)

Words of Pope John XXIII dictated to Cardinal Cigognani on May 28, 1963, shortly before his death. Cited in Peter Hebblethwaite, "Pope John XXIII: Shepherd of the Modern World."
