Patristic Quote of the Day

Blessed is He Who created us according to His loving-kindness, Who descended to save us by the cross, and Who is coming again to resurrect us in the great day of His coming. Vouchsafe me also, O Good One, according to Thy goodness, to behold Thy compassion in the day of judgment, and to sing praise to Thee together with the righteous unto the ages of ages. -- St. Ephraim, the Syrian, *A Spiritual Psalter* 143
