Patristic Quote of the Day

A woman brought death upon us; a woman has now brought forth life. The likeness of our sinful flesh was born so that this sinful flesh might be cleansed. Let not the flesh be blamed, but let it die to sin so that it may live by its real nature; let him who was in sin be born again in Him who was born without sin. -- St. Augustine, Homily 189
