Patristic Quote of the Day

Let us observe, dear friends, how something like resurrection is so often anticipated in the course of nature…. The sower goes forth and casts into the earth each of the seeds. They fall into the dry and bare ground and decay. Then out of their decay the majesty of God’s providence raises them up, and from being one seed, many grow up and bring forth fruit.—St. Clement of Rome, 1 Clement 2
