Charity is indeed, a great thing, and a gift of God, and when it is rightly ordered likens us unto God himself, as far as that is possible for it is charity which makes the man.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Nothing is more powerful than meekness. For as fire is extinguished by water, so a mind inflated by anger is subdued by meekness. By meekness we practice and make known our virtue, and also cause the indignation of our brother to cease, and deliver his mind from perturbation.
Saint John Chrysostom

You [Jews] did slay Christ, you did lift violent hands against the Master, you did spill his precious blood. This is why you have no chance for atonement, excuse, or defense.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
When you are weary of praying, and do not receive, consider how often you have heard a poor man calling, and have not listened to him.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
I do not think there are many among Bishops that will be saved, but many more that perish.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
For nothing so much disturbs the mind, though it be done for some beneficial purpose, as to innovate and introduce strange things, and most of all when this is done in matters relating to divine worship and the glory of God.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Every family should have a room where Christ is welcome in the person of the hungry and thirsty stranger.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Riches are not forbidden, but the pride of them is.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
It is certainly a greater and more wonderful work to change the minds of enemies, bringing about a change of soul, than to kill them.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
You carry your snare everywhere and spread your nets in all places. You allege that you never invited others to sin. You did not indeed, by your words, but you have done so by your dress and your deportment.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
What the soul is in the body, let Christians be in the world.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
If repentance is neglected for an instant, one can lose the power of the Resurrection as he lives with the weakness of tepidity and the potential of his fall.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
The road to Hell is paved with the bones of priests and monks, and the skulls of bishops are the lamp posts that light the path.
