Patristic Quote of the Day

For, those even whom He was threatening to cast out, He threatened not in order to cast them out, but in order that through such fear, He might draw them into it [the Kingdom] by His words. And if not even hereby were they profited, theirs is the whole blame, as also of all who are in the like distemper. -- St. John Chrysostom, Homily 26 on Matthew
