Patristic Quote of the Day

Adam by the tree fell; you [the robber] by the tree are brought into paradise. 'And and I do not say to you, "This day you shall depart," but, "This day you shall be with Me." Be of good courage. You shall not be cast out. Fear not the flaming sword. It shrinks from its Lord'.—Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures, 13.30
