    St. John Chrysostom

    St. John was born at Antioch in 344. He was surnamed Chrysostom, which means “Golden Mouthed”, because of his eloquent sermons and the life-changing impact his words had on all those who heard him preach.

    A Call to Live a Simple Life

    His Mother instilled into his heart from early youth the most perfect maxims of piety and contempt of the world. It is not surprising, therefore, that John retired into the mountains near Antioch, in 374, to lead the monastic life. Four years were spent under the direction of an old Syrian Monk, and two years in a cave as a hermit. The dampness of the cave ruined his health and obliged him to return to Antioch, where he was ordained Priest.

    The Banishment of St. John Chrysostom

    In 398, much against his will, he was raised to the See of Constantinople. Because of his denunciation of vice, he made numerous enemies and brought down upon himself the imperial wrath. At a gathering of Bishops, known as the Synod of the Oak in 403, St. John was deposed and banished. Public opinion was so strongly in his favor that the Emperor was unable to prevent his triumphal return.

    Two months later, however, when he again openly denounced the vice of many of those in authority, he was driven to the deserts of Taurus in Armenia, in defiance of Pope Innocent I, who fully supported the saint’s words. St. John’s enemies seeing the whole Christian world honoring and defending him, resolved to destroy him. They procured an order from the Emperor to have St. John removed to Cucusus, a secluded and rugged place on the east frontier of Armenia. There, St. John Chrysostom maintained frequent communication with his flock and never gave up the hope of his return to his community.

    The Great SaintÂ’s Last Act of Faith

    In 407 the order was given to carry him to Pithyus, a place at the extreme boundary of the empire, near the Caucasus. Two officers were commanded to transport him. Left exposed to the elements on a very old ship, St. John became ill, yet was forced to continue on the journey. It was clear that the Saint would not be able to complete the journey and had little time left, so the captain reversed the course and brought St. John to the oratory of a Priest. Exchanging his soiled clothes for white garments, St. John received Last Rights and closed his prayer with his usual doxology: “Glory be to God for all things”. As he said “Amen”, he sweetly gave up his soul to God.

    May we reminded, each day that we wear this St. John Chrysostom Medal, of the incredible life of this great Saint. We pray that we may follow his holy example and live our life in pious humble devotion to God, in such a way that will bring others closer to Christ. May all that we do give glory to God for all things Amen
