Patristic Quote for the Day

Christ takes on the appearance of each of the poor and assimilates Himself to all of them so that no one who believes in Him will be arrogant toward his fellow beings. On the contrary, he will look on his fellow beings and his neighbor as his God, regarding himself least of all in comparison just as much with his neighbor as with his Creator, and exhausting his all in his service, just as Christ our God poured out His blood for our salvation. - St. Symeon the New Theologian (Practical and Theologiccal Texts, #114)
