Patristic Quote of the Day

Our Maker and Creator brought us out of darkness into His universe as it were out of a tomb; even before our birth He was ready with His favours for us. To Him we owe everything, and therefore on every count we are under the obligation to return thanks to Him. Glory be to Him forever and ever, Amen.—St. Clement of Rome, Epistle to the Corinthians, par. 38.
