Patristic Quote for the Day

The marvelous truth is, that being the Word, so far from being Himself contained by anything, He actually contained all things Himself. In creation, He is present everywhere, yet is distinct in being from it; ordering, directing, giving life to all, containing all, yet is He Himself the Uncontained, existing solely in His Father. - St. Athanasius the Great, *On the Incarnation of the Word of God* par. 17
