Patristic Quote for the Day

Lord Jesus Christ, by the Father's plan and by the working of the Holy Ghost of your own free will you died and mercifully redeemed the world from sin and everlasting death. I adore and venerate you as much as ever I can, though my love is so cold, my devotion so poor. Thank you for the good gift of this your holy Body and Blood, which I desire to receive as cleansing from sin and for a defence against it. - A Communion Prayer of St. Anselm of Canterbury.
