Image
There is nothing colder than a Christian who does not seek to save others.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
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
Image
If there were no tribulation, there would be no rest if there were no winter, there would be no summer.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Is it not excessively ridiculous to seek the good opinion of those whom you would never wish to be like?
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
No one has ever been accused for not providing ornaments, but for those who neglect their neighbour a hell awaits with an inextinguishable fire and torment in the company of the demons. Do not, therefore, adorn the church and ignore your afflicted brother, for he is the most precious temple of all.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
I am a Christian. He who answers thus has declared everything at once-his country, profession, family the believer belongs to no city on earth but to the heavenly Jerusalem.
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
Laughter does not seem to be a sin, but it leads to sin.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
The desire to rule is the mother of heresies.
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
The Holy Scriptures do not know any distinctions. They enjoin that all lead the life of monks.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
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
Image
A friend is more to be longed for than the light I speak of a genuine one. And wonder not: for it were better for us that the sun should be extinguished, than that we should be deprived of friends better to live in darkness, than to be without friends
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
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
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
Image
Nothing will divide the church so much as the love of power.
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
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 test of sincerity of one's prayer is the willingness to labor on its behalf.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
The rich man is not one who is in possession of much, but one who gives much.
Saint John Chrysostom
