Saint John Chrysostom
Is it not excessively ridiculous to seek the good opinion of those whom you would never wish to be like?
Saint John Chrysostom
It is folly to abstain all day long from food, but fail to abstain from sin and selfishness.
Saint John Chrysostom
Do you think that the man-loving God has given you much so that you could use it only for your own benefit? No, but so that your abundance might supply the lack of others.
Saint John Chrysostom
Many can give money to those in need, but to personally serve the needy readily, out of love, and in a fraternal spirit, requires a truly great soul.
Saint John Chrysostom
When an archer desires to shoot his arrows successfully, he first takes great pains over his posture and aligns himself accurately with his mark. It should be the same for you who are about to shoot the head of the wicked devil. Let us be concerned first for the good order of sensations and then for the good posture of inner thoughts.'
Saint John Chrysostom
God asks little, but He gives much.
