Patristic Quote of the Day

The children die for Christ, though they do not know it. The parents mourn the death of martyrs. The child makes of those unable yet to speak fit witnesses to himself. See the kind of kingdom that is his, coming as he did in order to be this kind of king. See how the deliverer is already working deliverance, the savior already working salvation. -- Quodvultdeus, Sermon (Christian Prayer, p. 1961)
