Patristic Quote for the Day

Sacred love, permeating all from first to last, from head to foot, joins all to itself, links them up, ties together and unites, renders them strong and unshakable. In experience, it reveals itself to each man as one and the same. It is God with Whom the last may be first and the first last. - St. Simeon the New Theologian, *Practical and Theological Precepts* (#156)
