Patristic Quote for the Day

Therefore Peter is so called from the rock; not the rock from Peter; as Christ is not called Christ from the Christian, but the Christian from Christ... that is upon Myself, the Son of the living God, 'will I build My church.' I will build thee upon Myself, not Myself upon thee. - St. Augustine, expositing Matt 16:18, NPNF 1:VI;340.
