Patristic Quote of the Day

If we are sheep, we conquer; if we become wolves we are overcome. So long as we continue to behave as sheep, we are victorious. Even if ten thousand wolves surround us, we conquer and are victorious. But the moment we become wolves, we are conquered, for we lost the Shepherd. He is the Shepherd of sheep, not of wolves. If he leaves you and goes away, it is becomes you do not allow him to show his power.—St. John Chrysostom, Homily 33 on St. Matthew (Thanks, Jerry, for the reminder!)
