Patristic Quote for the Day

[On the consecration of the Eucharist]

It is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit who perform everything; but the priest lends his tongue and supplies his hand. - St. John Chrysostom, *On the Treachery of Judas* 1:6

(This is a bit further on from the famous section of this sermon that is quoted in the Formula of Concord).
