Patristic Quote of the Day

This, therefore, was the reason they muttered against Christ; and yet, how was it not rather their duty, having been taught what was about to happen, to escape from the danger and leap over its toils? And the way so to do was straightforward and easy. Let them accept Him Who calleth them unto salvation; let them honor by faith Him who justifieth the wicked; Who absolveth from all guilt; and by His grace, that remembereth not evil, saveth those who are entangled in sins. -- St. Cyril of Alexandria, Homily 135 on St. Luke
