Patristic Quote for the Day

I pray You, noble Jesu, that as You have graciously granted me joyfully to imbibe the words of Your knowledge, so You will also of Your bounty grant me to come at length to Yourself, the Fount of all wisdom, and to dwell in Your presence forever. --St. Bede, the Venerable *A History of the English Church and People* (concluding prayer)
