Patristic Quote for the Day

In Christ you were tempted, for Christ received his flesh from your nature, but by his own power gained salvation for you; he suffered death in your nature, but by his own power gained life for you; he suffered insults in your nature, but by his own power gained glory for you; therefore, he suffered in your nature, but by his own power gained victory for you. - St. Augustine, from a Homily for Invocabit
