More quotes by Saint John Chrysostom
God asks little, but He gives much.
Saint John Chrysostom
To love Christ -means not to be a hireling, not to look upon a noble life as an enterprise or trade, but to be a true benefactor and to do everything only for the sake of love for God.
Saint John Chrysostom
This is the rule of most perfect Christianity, its most exact definition, its highest point, namely, the seeking of the common good ... for nothing can so make a person an imitator of Christ as caring for neighbors.
Saint John Chrysostom
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
Labor: a powerful medicine.
Saint John Chrysostom
Things themselves do not remain, but their effects do. Therefore we should not be mean and calculating with what we have but give with a generous hand. Look at how much people give to players and dancers-why not give just as much to Christ?
Saint John Chrysostom
In the Christian combat, not the striker, as in the Olympic contests, but he who is struck, wins the crown. This is the law in the celestial theatre, where the Angels are the spectators.
Saint John Chrysostom
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
Musicke doth withdraw our mindes from earthly cogitations, lifteth up our spirits into heaven, maketh them light and celestial.
Saint John Chrysostom
That is true plenty, not to have, but not to want riches.
Saint John Chrysostom
Why not learn to enjoy the little things-there are so many of them.
Saint John Chrysostom
We ought not, as soon as we leave church, to plunge into business unsuited to church, but as soon as we get home, we should take the Scriptures into our hands, and call our wife and children to join us in putting together what we have heard in church.
Saint John Chrysostom
What shepherd feeds his sheep with his own blood? But Christ feeds us with His own Blood and in all things unites us to Himself.
Saint John Chrysostom
O most grateful burden, which comforts them that carry it! The burdens of earthly masters gradually wear out the strength of those who carry them but the burden of Christ assists the bearers of it, because we carry not grace, but grace us.
Saint John Chrysostom
Laughter has been implanted in our soul, that the soul may sometime be refreshed.
Saint John Chrysostom
As a moth gnaws a garment, so doth envy consume a man.
Saint John Chrysostom
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
If you cannot find Christ in the beggar at the church door, you will not find Him in the chalice.
Saint John Chrysostom
The bee is more honored than other animals, not because she labors, but because she labors for others.
Saint John Chrysostom
When we teach our children to be good, to be gentle, to be forgiving (all these are attributes of God), to be generous, to love their follow men, to regard this present age as nothing, we instill virtue in their souls, and reveal the image of God within them.
Saint John Chrysostom
