Something wrong?A fourth-century archbishop whose sermons were so commanding they earned him the surname Chrysostom - "golden-mouthed." The Eastern Orthodox count him among their Three Holy Hierarchs, and the liturgy he composed is still spoken in churches seventeen centuries later.

In their own words 9
, Nothing is more miserable than those people who never failed to attack their own salvation. When there was need to observe the Law, they trampled it under foot.
The Master is gracious and receives the last even as the first; He gives rest to him that comes at the eleventh hour, just as to him who has labored from the first.
Let all partake of the feast of faith. Let all receive the riches of goodness. Let no one lament their poverty, for the universal kingdom has been revealed.

About this person
Born around 347, he rose through the early Church to become Archbishop of Constantinople, where his preaching became the standard against which Christian oratory was measured. His Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom outlasted empires, remaining in use across Eastern Christianity. Known equally for his ascetic discipline and his skill at the pulpit, he died on September 14, 407, leaving a body of work that secured his place among the four Great Greek Church Fathers in Catholic tradition. The Byzantines elevated him further still, naming him one of the Three Holy Hierarchs alongside Basil of Caesarea and Gregory of Nazianzus.
