Patristic Quote of the Day

"Why, I am so far, says He, from loathing sinners, that even for their sakes only am I come." Then, lest He should make them more careless, He stayed not at the word sinners, but added, "unto repentance". "For I am not come that they should continue sinners, but that they should alter, and amend." - St. John Chrysostom, Homily on Matthew 9
