Patristic Quote of the Day

Even in the wintertime you cannot tell the healthy trees apart from the withered trees but in beautiful springtime you can tell the difference, so too each person according to his faith and his works will be exposed. The wicked will not have any leaves or show any fruit, but the righteous will be clothed with the leaves of eternal life and the fruit of glory. In this way they will be separated by the heavenly shepherd and Lord.—Opus Imperfectum on St. Matthew 25:31ff.
