More quotes by 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
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
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
Why do you beat the air and run in vain? Every occupation has a purpose, obviously. Tell me then, what is the purpose of all the activity of the world? Answer, I challenge you! It is vanity of vanity: all is vanity.
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
If there were no tribulation, there would be no rest if there were no winter, there would be no summer.
Saint John Chrysostom
Whatever you may do for your brother, being hungry, and a stranger, and naked, not even the devil will be able to despoil, but it will be laid up in an inviolabe treasure.
Saint John Chrysostom
The desire to rule is the mother of heresies.
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
Faithfulness in little things is a big thing.
Saint John Chrysostom
The pains of hell are not the greatest part of hell the loss of heaven is the weightiest woe of hell.
Saint John Chrysostom
It is folly to abstain all day long from food, but fail to abstain from sin and selfishness.
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
Fasting is a medicine.
Saint John Chrysostom
Woman -a foe of friendship, an inescapable punishment, a necessary evil.
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
I hear no one boast, that he hath a knowledge of the Scriptures, but that he owneth a Bible written in golden characters. And tell me then, what profiteth this? The Holy Scriptures were not given to us that we should enclose them in books, but that we should engrave them upon our hearts.
Saint John Chrysostom
Are you angry? Be angry at your sins, beat your soul, afflict your conscience, but strict in judgement and a terrible punisher of your own sins. This is the benefit of anger, wherefore God placed it in us.
Saint John Chrysostom
The rich man is not one who is in possession of much, but one who gives much.
Saint John Chrysostom
God asks little, but He gives much.
Saint John Chrysostom
