More quotes by Saint John Chrysostom
I do not think there are many among Bishops that will be saved, but many more that perish.
Saint John Chrysostom
Be ashamed when you sin, not when you repent.
Saint John Chrysostom
Words cannot express the joy which a friend imparts.
Saint John Chrysostom
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
And all men are ready to pass judgement on the priest as if he was not a being clothed with flesh, or one who inherited a human nature.
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
It is folly to abstain all day long from food, but fail to abstain from sin and selfishness.
Saint John Chrysostom
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
If you cannot find Christ in the beggar at the church door, you will not find Him in the chalice.
Saint John Chrysostom
Surely we ought to show them (animals) great kindness and gentleness for many reasons, but, above all, because they are of the same origin as ourselves.
Saint John Chrysostom
Laughter does not seem to be a sin, but it leads to sin.
Saint John Chrysostom
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
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.
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
A man's readiness and commitment are not enough if he does not enjoy help from above as well equally help from above is no benefit to us unless there is also commitment and readiness on our part.
Saint John Chrysostom
God asks little, but He gives much.
Saint John Chrysostom
Mercy imitates God and disappoints Satan.
Saint John Chrysostom
If we approach with faith, we too will see Jesus... for the Eucharistic table takes the place of the crib. Here the Body of the Lord is present, wrapped not in swaddling clothes but in the rays of the Holy Spirit.
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
Him who is dead and gone honor with remembrance, not with tears.
Saint John Chrysostom
