Patristic Quote for the Day

When I say Paul, I don't mean just him, but also Peter and James and John and their whole company. For just as in a single lyre the strings are different, but they make a single harmonious sound, so too in the company of the Apostles the persons were different but the teaching was one and the same, since there was also a single artist, the Holy Spirit, who was setting their souls in motion. - St. John Chrysostom, *Homily on the Holy Martyr Ignatius of Antioch* par. 4.
