Patristic Quote of the Day

Since, therefore, it was impossible to apply this penalty to the things which Christ had done, and since the Savior had no trace of any disease for which He needed a remedy to heal Him, the power of His cup is applied to us and slays the sin that is in us. The wounding of Him who is under no censure becomes the penalty of those who are guilty of many things. -- St. Nicholas Cabasilas, *The Life in Christ* p. 58, 59
