Patristic Quote for the Day

For the true city of the saints is in heaven, though here on earth it produces citizens in whom it wanders as on a pilgrimage through time looking for the Kingdom of eternity. When that day comes it will gather together all those who, rising in their bodies, shall have the Kingdom given to them in which, along with their Prince, the King of Eternity, they shall reign forever and ever. - St. Augustine, *City of God* Book, XV, chapter 1
