Quote on the power and grace of baptism by St Gregory of Nazianzus


In honor of our celebration of the Baptism of the Lord on January 12, I love this quote of St Gregory of Nazianzus (329 - 390) on the power and grace of baptism.  What a wonderful quote: 

“Such is the grace and power of baptism; not an overwhelming of the world as of old, but a purification of the sins of each individual, and a complete cleansing from all the bruises and stains of sin.”
