Patristic Quote of the Day

Through the Holy Spirit comes our restoration to Paradise, our ascension to the Kingdom of heaven, our adoption as God's sons, our freedom to call God our Father, our becoming partakers of the grace of Christ, being called children of light, sharing in eternal glory, and in our word, our inheritance of the fullness of blessing, both in this world and the world to come. -- St. Basil the Great, On the Holy Spirit, par. 36.
