Patristic Quote of the Day

For this reason, at the beginning of the Creed we find: "l believe in God" and afterwards, at the end: "eternal life." Therefore, dearly beloved, the Creed is like an exceedingly beautiful building which is well begun; it has a very firm foundation, and an immortal summit, for it has God at the beginning and eternal life at the end. God is the foundation; eternal life, the summit. Faith, dearly beloved, is the entrance to life, the beginning of the road, the foundation of salvation. - St. Caesarius of Arles, Homily 9
