Spiritual Quote of the Day (St. Augustine, on How ‘Christ is the Day’)

“Awake, then, while it is day: the day shines, Christ is the day. He is ready to forgive sins, but to them that acknowledge them; ready to punish the self-defenders, who boast that they are righteous, and think themselves to be something when they are nothing.”—St. Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD), “Homilies on the Gospel of John (Chapter III: 6-21),” in Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers (Christian Classics Ethereal Library), edited by Philip Schaff (1888)
