Patristic Quote of the Day

For Christ did not answer him [the young man] as expected, but simply pointed him to the law. This is not because the law is perfection, for “no one is justified by the law,” as it is written, but because the life lived according to the law is a kind of introduction to eternal life, briefly acquainting trainees to the things above.—St. Cyril of Alexandria, Fragment 218
