Patristic Quote of the Day

Thou, O Jesus, hast redeemed all with Thy blood; and by Thy death Thou hast bound the powerful adversary.  Release me from the fetters of the evil one; break his shackles and bonds.  -- St. Ephraim the Syrian, A Spiritual Psalter, #52.

A Spiritual Psalter is published by St. John of Kronstadt Press in Tennessee. It is, over all, an outstanding exercise in Law/Gospel distinction.
