Patristic Quote of the Day

Those outside the word of truth, despising the simplicity of expression in the Scriptures, call the preaching of the Gospel folly; but we, who glory in the cross of Christ, 'to whom the gifts bestowed on us by God were manifested through the Spirit, not in words taught by human wisdom,' know that the grace poured out by God in the teachings concerning Christ is rich. -- St. Basil the Great, Homily 17

I so appreciate your patristic quote of the day. Thank you for being part of a much-needed recovery of the treasure trove of early Christian riches. Perhaps your tradition never lost them, but I thank you nonetheless.
