SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - St John Chrysostom
DESCRIPTION:ST JOHN CHRYSOSTOM \nFrom “The Fathers of the Church” by Pope Benedict XVI \n◊◊◊ \nSt John Chrysostom was born in Antioch\, Syria\, in 344. His father died \nwhen he was an infant and his mother raised him. He studied with the most \nfamous rhetorician of the day\, Libanus. Baptized as a young adult in 368\, John \nundertook an ascetic life for four years\, living alone on the neighboring Mount \nSilpius. He extended his stay for a further two years\, living alone in a cave under \nthe guidance of an old hermit. \nHaving fallen ill\, he found it impossible to care for himself and returned to \nthe city and was ordained a deacon and then a priest. From 386 to 397 he \npreached in the cathedral at Antioch\, perhaps the most satisfying and happiest \nyears of his life. There he delivered courses of sermons on books of the Bible. \nJohn was nicknamed “Chrysostom”\, that is\, “golden mouthed”\, because of his \neloquence. \nIn 397 he was taken\, almost by force\, to Constantinople\, ordained bishop\, \nand made patriarch of the capitol city. He lived ascetically and showed deep \nconcern for the poor and the sick. But his style of life offended some powerful \npeople\, including the Empress Eudoxia. Theophilus\, the patriarch of \nAlexandria\, was also among his enemies\, and in 403 Theophilus presided at a \nsynod near Constantinople that deposed John. \nJohn was banished twice\, the first time for only a short while. But during \nthe second exile he died on September 14\, 407 while being forced to travel in \nharsh weather. \nJohn is known for a large corpus of homilies\, most of them on Scripture. \nAmong his best known and most read books are the six books On the \nPriesthood.
