Patristic Quote of the Day

And after all this hard work your life comes to an end. Look at what you suffer in this wretched life that you so love. And do you think that you will always live and never die? Temples, rocks, marble, all reinforced by iron and lead, still fall. And  a person thinks that he will never die? Learn therefore, brothers, to seek eternal life, when you will not endure such things but will reign with God forever.—St. Augustine, Sermon 84 on St. Matthew
