Patristic Quote for the Day

For he didn't shave off a bit of Godhead, and still he saved me, stooping as a doctor over my foul-smelling passions. He was a man, but God. David's off-spring, but Adam's Maker. A bearer of flesh, but, even so, beyond all body. -- St. Gregory of Nazianzus, *On God and Man* p. 41.
