Saint John Chrysostom one of the best scholars and blessed person in 3rd century . I always rely on his books whenever I need explanation of the bible . Peace to every from Eritrean orthodox church.
What an inspiring video. It moves us to be like him in this age which is exactly like his time- The authorities are against us and Christians have grown lukewarm.
Saint John Chrysostom Saint John Chrysostom To me, he is a star I look at it every day So distant, so far, so bright Up in the sky Next to the Virgin Mary Saint John Chrysostom He was formed at the foot of Mount Silpio With humility, vigilance, and prayer He created the will to resist all evil And learned To rid himself of temptation From Sinai He was called to Antioch To give courage, enlighten hearts His blessed word was Divine It shone And taught the crowds From Antioch He went to the capital Eastern of the Roman Empire There was envy, betrayal, and so much intrigue That they conspired immediately Against his life But knives and spears could not touch him His poor people Were always there to defend him He was exiled, mistreated, and humiliated Which only Increased his Power Saint John Chrysostom He was a light in antiquity In the early steps of Christianity He is part of the Sacred Constellation Of the holy martyrs Who died for Jesus Christ

@@neame-bh3uq He was the Archbishop of Constantinople. Of course he was Catholic and believed in the primacy of Peter. His writings are used by Catholics to defend the doctrines. He was canonized by the Catholic Church and is a Doctor of the Catholic Church.
He was not anti-semitic. If you read his work on the Jews, he strongly opposed Christians following after the Jews in their feast days, fastings, and practices. The very same jews who opposed Christ, The Savior and Master, and denied Him, The Rabbinic Judiasm of his time, he despised. So I'd say, he had every right as Priest, Bishop, and Theologian, to have those strong words against those who united themselves to Christ, then spit in his face by joining themselves to the very ones who crucified him.
