Patristic Quote of the Day

“Listen to Him,” whom the mysteries of the law foreshadowed, of whom the mouth of the prophets sang. “Listen to Him” who by his blood redeemed the world, who binds the devil and seizes his vessels, who breaks the debt of sin and the bondage of iniquity. “Listen to Him” who opens the way to heaven and by the pain of the cross prepares for you the steps of ascent into His kingdom.—Pope St. Leo the Great, Sermon 38
