LISTEN | Morning Prayer - September 13, 2022 | Memorial of St. John Chrysostom, Bishop and Doctor of the Church

"Those who are wise will shine brightly like the splendor of the firmament and those who lead the many to justice shall be like the stars for ever." - Dn 12:3

St. John Chrysostom (347-407), born in Antioch, was a great genius. His powerful eloquence earned him the surname of Chrysostom, or golden mouthed. With St. Athanasius, St. Gregory Nazianzen and St. Basil, he forms the group of the four great doctors of the Eastern Church. As Archbishop of Constantinople, his courageous stance against the vices of even the wealthy caused him to be exiled several times. As a result he died in 407, still in exile. In 1204 his body was brought to St. Peter's in Rome but was returned to the Orthodox on November 27, 2004 by Pope Saint John Paul II. (CatholicCulture.org)
