Patristic Quote of the Day

Now there is much significance in that He does not say, "The wrath of God shall come upon him," but "abides on him." For from this wrath (in which we are all involved under sin, and of which the apostle says, "For we too were once by nature the children of wrath, even as others" Ephesians 2:3 ) nothing delivers us but the grace of God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. -- St. Augustine, *On Merit and the Forgiveness of Sins and the Baptism of Infants* Book I, Chapter 29
