Patristic Quote of the Day

For neither did he say, If Thou request it of God, nor, If Thou pray, but, If You will, You can make me clean. Nor did he say, Lord, cleanse me, but leaves all to Him, and makes his recovery depend on Him, and testifies that all the authority is His. -- St. John Chrysostom, Homily 25 on Matthew
