Image
What is it to be a fool for Christ? It is to control one's thoughts when they stray out of line. It is to make the mind empty and free.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Him who is dead and gone honor with remembrance, not with tears.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
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
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
No matter how just your words may be, when you speak with anger, you ruin all: no matter how boldly you speak, how fairly reprove, or what not.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Let us always guard our tongue not that it should always be silent, but that it should speak at the proper time.

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
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
Do not the angels differs from us in this respect, that they do not want so many things as we do? Therefore the less we need, the more we are on our way to them the more we need, the more we sink down to this perishable life.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Mercy imitates God and disappoints Satan.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
If you cannot find Christ in the beggar at the church door, you will not find Him in the chalice.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
That is true plenty, not to have, but not to want riches.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Intemperance is a hydra with a hundred heads. She never stalks abroad unaccompanied with impurity, anger, and the most infamous profligacies.
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
Laughter has been implanted in our soul, that the soul may sometime be refreshed.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
Musicke doth withdraw our mindes from earthly cogitations, lifteth up our spirits into heaven, maketh them light and celestial.
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
Poor human reason, when it trusts in itself, substitutes the strangest absurdities for the highest divine concepts
