Patristic Quote of the Day

Only those persons who have experienced this life understand it; only those who believe can experience it. For, if you require me to show you what God promises you, I cannot do so. However, you have heard the words with which the Gospel of John ended 'Blessed are they who do not see and yet believe.' You wish to see and so do I. Let us believe together and we shall see together. Let us not be obstinate in regard to the word of God. - St. Augustine, Homily 259
