Patristic Quote of the Day

So He received from us what He offered as His own for us, that He might redeem us from our own, and that He might confer upon us what was not our own from His divine liberality. According to our nature, then. He offered Himself, that He might do a work beyond our nature. From that which is ours is the sacrifice, from His is the reward. -- St. Ambrose, *On the Sacrament of the Incarnation*
