Faith is the mother of us all; it is the well-spring of hope and it is preceded by love of God, of Christ and of neighbor. Whoever dwells in these virtues has fulfilled the precepts of Righteousness, for whoever has charity is far from all sin.
+St. Polycarp of Smyrna, from Epistle to the Philippians, in Ante Nicene Fathers volume 1.
