Patristic Quote of the Day
Therefore, whenever you hear sinners cursed in Scripture, understand it concerning the proud, as I said, that is, those who defend their sins. Likewise, as often as you hear the poor praised, do not consider it with regard to all the poor, but only those Christians who are meek and humble of heart. Of these it is written: 'Upon whom shall my spirit rest, but upon the humble and meek, upon him that trembleth at my words?' - St. Caesarius of Arles, Homily 48

William,
Great to see these quotes from Caesarius, a neglected Father of the Church. It's a great pity his work De Gratia et Libero Arbitrio has been lost to posterity.
