Patristic Quote of the Day

If Jonah then is taken as a type of Christ, he is not so take in every respect—he was sent to preach to the Ninevites, but he sought to flee from the presence of God. And he is seen to shrink from going to the east. The Son also was sent from God the Father to preach to the nations, but he was not unwilling to assume this ministry.—St. Cyril of Alexandria
