Patristic Quote of the Day

And so, my brethren, I urge and entreat you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom our sins have been forgiven, who wished His blood to be our purchase price, who deigned to make us His brethren although we are unworthy of being called His servants, I urge you to direct your entire reason for being Christians and for carrying His name on your forehead and in your heart solely to that life which we are destined to enjoy with the angels, where there is perpetual peace, everlasting happiness, unfailing blessedness, with no anxiety, no sadness, and no death. -- St. Augustine, Homily 259
