More quotes by Saint John Chrysostom
Faithfulness in little things is a big thing.
Saint John Chrysostom
Riches are not forbidden, but the pride of them is.
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
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
There is nothing colder than a Christian who does not seek to save others.
Saint John Chrysostom
It is a shame for a man to desire honor because of his noble progenitors, and not to deserve it by his own virtue.
Saint John Chrysostom
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
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
Of all the afflictions that burden the human race, there is not one, whether spiritual or bodily, that cannot be healed by the Holy Scriptures.
Saint John Chrysostom
Nothing causes us to so nearly resemble God as the forgiveness of injuries.
Saint John Chrysostom
Let us pass to the despotic part of the soul, spirit. We must not eliminate it utterly from the youth nor yet allow him to use it all the time. Let us train boys from earliest childhood to be patient when they suffer wrongs themselves, but, if they see another being wronged, to sally forth courageously and aid the sufferer in fitting measure.
Saint John Chrysostom
Be ashamed when you sin, not when you repent.
Saint John Chrysostom
When one is required to preside over the Church, and be entrusted with the care of so many souls, the whole female sex must retire before the magnitude of the task, and the majority of men also.
Saint John Chrysostom
You [Jews] did slay Christ, you did lift violent hands against the Master, you did spill his precious blood. This is why you have no chance for atonement, excuse, or defense.
Saint John Chrysostom
Woman is a necessary evil, a natural temptation, a desirable calamity, a domestic peril, a deadly fascination, and a painted ill.
Saint John Chrysostom
The bee is more honored than other animals, not because she labors, but because she labors for others.
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
Prayer is the place of refuge for every worry, a foundation for cheerfulness, a source of constant happiness, a protection against sadness.
Saint John Chrysostom
Dost thou wish to receive mercy? Show mercy to thy neighbor.
Saint John Chrysostom
Laughter does not seem to be a sin, but it leads to sin.
Saint John Chrysostom
