Patristic Quote of the Day

'Come, children, hearken to me' and 'Come, all you who labor and are burdened.' It is the paternal voice of One with outstretched arms calling to Himself those who until then were rebelling. He who has heard the call and has approached and cleaves to the One commanding, will see Him who through the cross made all things peaceful 'whether on the earth or in the heavens.' -- St. Basil the Great, Homily 18
