Patristic Quote of the Day

He who came to bring back a victory over the enemy does not flee from death; he who had come to lay bear all of the devil's cunning and deceit does not panic at human plots; nor was he afraid at that time when he was an infant, since he did not know how to be afraid as a Man, and was unable to be afraid as God. -- St. Peter Chrysologus, Sermon 150 par. 8 *On the Lord's Flight into Egypt*
