Patristic Quote for the Day

While he is in the flesh, man cannot help but have at least some light sins. But do not despise thesse sins which we call "light": if you take them for light when you weigh them, tremble when you count them. A number of light objects makes a great mass; a number of drops fills a river; a number of grains make a heap. What then is our hope? Above all, confession. - St. Augustine, In ep. Jo. 1,6
