Patristic Quote of the Day

Glory to Thee, Who didst descend to save our souls! Glory to Thee, Who didst take flesh in the womb of the Virgin! Glory to Thee, Who didst suffer bondage! Glory to Thee, Who didst accept scourging! Glory to Thee, Who wast made an object of humiliation! Glory to Thee, Who wast crucified! Glory to Thee, Who wast buried! Glory to Thee, who didst rise from the dead! Glory to Thee, of whom the prophets spoke! Glory to Thee who didst ascend to heaven! Glory to Thee, Who didst sit with glory at the right hand of the Father and Who art coming again with hosts of angels to judge every soul that has scorned Thy holy passion.—St. Ephraim the Syrian, A Spiritual Psalter, #2.
