Patristic Quote of the Day
For the dead shall rise, and this earthly and infirm body shall put off corruption, and shall clothe itself with incorruption by Christ's gift, Who grants unto those that believe in Him to be conformed unto the likeness of His glorious body. -- St. Cyril of Alexandria, Homily 139 on St. Luke

since I don't have my book, I can't remember what text Homily 139 is based on. But I think I remember being astonished by Cyril's movement from that text to this quote, and perhaps even using it in a sermon on that text.
