Patristic Quote for the Day

And why do I speak about martyrs? For if their Master is not ashamed to be our Head, by far more are they unashamed to be our limbs. For they possess a love that is firmly rooted, and it is the way of love to join and bind together what is divided, and it doesn't scrutinize the value. So then, just as they join in grieving for our sin, so we join in rejoicing over their good works. This is in fact what Paul ordered us to do, when he said to "rejoice with those who rejoice," and to "weep with those who weep." (Rom 12:15) - St. John Chrysostom, Homily on Saint Romanus, par. 2
