Patristic Quote of the Day

There is one Father of all, there is one Word of all, and the Holy Spirit is one and the same everywhere. There is also one Virgin Mother, whom I love to call the Church. Alone, this mother had no milk, because she alone did not become a woman. She is virgin and mother simultaneously; a virgin undefiled and a mother full of love. -- St. Clement of Alexandria, Paedagogus I, 6

  2. What does Opa's trouncing of us have to do with the Patristic quote of the day, my love? Sorry to hear you suffered a similar fate to your parents.
