The Life of St. John Chrysostom
John grew up in Antioch, raised by a devoted widowed mother, and spent years in prayer as a monk before becoming a priest. His sermons on Scripture drew huge crowds, and in 398 he was made Archbishop of Constantinople.
He spoke boldly for the poor and lived simply, giving away much of his household to care for the needy. The Divine Liturgy that bears his name is still celebrated every Sunday in Eastern churches around the world.

Glory to God for All Things
