Patristic Quote for the Day

Grant us, O Lord, we beseech Thee, Thy help and protection. Do Thou deliver the afflicted, pity the lowly, raise the fallen, reveal Thyself to the needy, heal the sick, and bring home Thy wandering people. Feed Thou the hungry, ransom the captive, support the weak, comfort the faint-hearted. Let all the nations of the earth know that Thou art God alone, that Jesus Christ is Thy Child, and that we are Thy people and the sheep of Thy pasture. - St. Clement of Rome, *Epistle to the Corinthians* par. 59
