Patristic Quote of the Day

Grant us Thy help, O All-good One, and never abandon our race! Vouchsafe us Thine all-searching wisdom, that we might know the transience of all things. Heal our sores with repentance. Visit us, that we might not persist in sins. Thou Who art most merciful to our souls, instill in us remembrance of good, for much have we loved evil. Dispel all harm from us, O Good One. - St. Ephrem the Syrian, *A Spiritual Psalter* #13
