Patristic Quote of the Day
I am unworthy to ask forgiveness for myself, O Lord, for many times have I promised to repent and proved myself a liar by not fulfilling my promise. Thou hast picked me up many times already, but every time I freely choose to fall again. -- St. Ephraim the Syrian, *A Spiritual Psalter* #120

Rev. Weedon, I think what St. Ephraim say about his shortcomings is true of all of us. But the unworthy to petition for forgiveness on one's self makes me nervous.
