Patristic Quote for the Day

Double dose today!

"He is the Cause of all causes, although not of all choices." - St. Augustine, City of God, Book V, Chapter 8

"We can learn this, too, [it is] the remission of sins which makes us citizens of the Eternal City." - St. Augustine, City of God, Book V, Chapter 17

    If you hadn't told me it was St Augustine, I would have thought this was from St Maximus Confessor. Perhaps St Augustine is not to blame for "irresistible grace" after all.
