Patristic Quote for the Day

God could give no greater gift to men than to make His Word, through whom He created all things, their head and to join them to him as his members, so that the Word might be both Son of God and Son of man, one God with the Father, and one man with all men. The result is that when we speak with God in prayer we do not separate the Son from him, and when the body of the Son prays it does not separate its head from itself: it is the one Savior of His body, our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who prays for us and in us and is Himself the object of our prayers. - St. Augustine, Commentary on the Psalms
