“Imagine your anger to be a kind of wild beast, because it has ferocious teeth and claws, and if you don't tame it, it will devastate all things even corrupting the soul.”

Saint John Chrysostom
Saint John Chrysostom (c. 347 – September 14, 407) was an early Church Father and Archbishop of Constantinople, renowned for his eloquent preaching and oratory, earning the epithet 'Chrysostom' meaning 'golden-mouthed.' Born in Antioch, he received a classical education and later became a hermit. His sermons emphasized moral reform, social justice, and biblical exegesis, often criticizing luxury and corruption. His conflicts with the imperial court and clergy led to multiple exiles, and he died during a forced march. His extensive writings, including homilies, commentaries, and letters, profoundly influenced Eastern Christianity. He is venerated as a saint and Doctor of the Church in Eastern Orthodoxy, Catholicism, and other traditions. more
