Patristic Quote of the Day

For see what He says; If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. Consequently, if you have confessed yourself a sinner, the truth is in you: for the Truth itself is light. Your life has not yet shone in perfect brightness, because there are sins in you; but yet you have already begun to be enlightened, because there is in you the confession of sins. -- St. Augustine, Homilies on First John
