Patristic Quote for the Day

"The soul, having obtained union with the Word, descended into hell; but using its divine power and efficacy, it said to the ones in bondage, 'Go forth!'" - St. Cyril of Alexandria (De Recta Fide ad Theodosium, MPG, 76:1166a. Note that this passage from Cyril is included in the Catalog of Testimonies, appended to the Book of Concord)
