Patristic Quote for the Day

All your sins are forgiven you. Therefore do not trust in your own work but in the grace of Christ. For the Apostle says: 'By grace you are saved.' Therefore there is here not arrogance but faith; to declare that you have been accepted is not pride, but consecration. - St. Augustine (Semon 28, De Verbis Domini, cited in Examen II:602 - haven't had time to track it down!)
