Standing Together in Prayer - Commemoration of St. John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople

The legion of saints of the Church is comprised of men of extraordinary ability whose talents may have been dissimilar but many of whom seem to have shared a common genius for oratory. Yet out of this vast assembly of eloquent speakers, whose reputation might have rested on their gift of expression alone, the one for whom the title "Chrysostom" or "golden-mouthed" was reserved, was John of Antioch, known as St. John Chrysostom, a great distinction in view of the qualifications of so many others (His Holiness Porfirije, Archbishop of Pec, Metropolitan of Belgrade-Karlovci and Serbian Patriarch).
