Quote of the Day – 27 May

“Think of the Father as a spring of life begetting the Son like a river and the Holy Spirit like a sea, for the spring and the river and sea are all one nature. Think of the Father as a root and of the Son as a branch and the Spirit as a fruit, for the substance in these three is one. The Father is a sun with the Son as rays and the Holy Spirit as heat.”

St John Damascene (675-749) – Doctor of the Church

Quote of the Day – 27 May – The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity

In all our undertakings —

when we enter a place or leave it;

before we dress;

before we bathe;

when we take our meals;

when we light the lamps in the evening;

before we retire at night;

when we sit down to read;

before each new task —

we trace the Sign of the Cross on our foreheads.

Tertullian (160-220) Father of the Church
