Patristic Quote for the Day

Let the human being consider the evils of his heart, the vices of his flesh, the ebb and flow of pleasures, the storms of his desires, the crags of his anger, the shipwreck of his sins, and then he will ascribe to God whatever is useful in him, and will attribute to himself whatever is useless. (On Luke 17:10) - St. Peter Chrysologus, Sermon 161, par. 5
