Image
Faithfulness in little things is a big thing.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Him who is dead and gone honor with remembrance, not with tears.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Laughter has been implanted in our soul, that the soul may sometime be refreshed.
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
Slander is worse than cannibalism.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Mary was made Mother of God to obtain salvation for many who, on account of their wicked lives, could not be saved according to the rigor of Divine justice, but might be saved with the help of her sweet mercy and powerful intercession.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Let us pass to the despotic part of the soul, spirit. We must not eliminate it utterly from the youth nor yet allow him to use it all the time. Let us train boys from earliest childhood to be patient when they suffer wrongs themselves, but, if they see another being wronged, to sally forth courageously and aid the sufferer in fitting measure.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Let us not overlook so great a gain.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Let us return from that Table like lions breathing out fire, terrifying to the devil!
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
The bee is more honored than other animals, not because she labors, but because she labors for others.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Good men do not always have grace and favor, lest they should be puffed up, and grow insolent and proud.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Prayer is an all-efficient panoply, a treasure undiminished, a mine which is never exhausted, a sky unobscured by clouds, a heaven unruffled by the storm. It is the root, the fountain, the mother of a thousand blessings.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Dost thou wish to receive mercy? Show mercy to thy neighbor.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
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
Image
When one is required to preside over the Church, and be entrusted with the care of so many souls, the whole female sex must retire before the magnitude of the task, and the majority of men also.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Let the mouth also fast from disgraceful speeches and railings. For what does it profit if we abstain from fish and fowl and yet bite and devour our brothers and sisters? The evil speaker eats the flesh of his brother and bites the body of his neighbor.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
If we were not passionately inclined to money or to vainglory, then we would not fear death or poverty. We would not know enmity or hatred, and we would not suffer from the sorrows of ourselves or others.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Consider how august a privilege it is, when angels are present, and archangels throng around, when cherubim and seraphim encircle with their blaze the throne, that a mortal may approach with unrestrained confidence, and converse with heaven's dread Sovereign! O, what honor was ever conferred like this?
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Laughter does not seem to be a sin, but it leads to sin.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Be ashamed when you sin, not when you repent.
Saint John Chrysostom
