Patristic Quote of the Day

For so great was the accuracy of the prophets that they did not omit even these little matters. But they foretold his travels, changes of place, and the intent with which he would act, that we might learn that they spoke by the Spirit. If human secrets cannot be easily discerned, how much more difficult is it to discern Christ’s purpose, except when the Spirit reveals it to us.—St. John Chrysostom, Homily 40, St. Matthew
