"Traditional Catholic Church"

"Doctor of the True Church"

Today the Traditional Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of Holy, Saint John Chrysostom, Bishop, Confessor. He is known as, "Golden Mouthed" for his sublime eloquence. Saint John Chrysostom was born at Antioch in the year 344. In order to break with a world which admired and courted him, he in 374 retired for six years to a neighboring mountain. Having thus acquired the art of Catholic silence, he returned to Antioch, and there he was a priest, until he was ordained Bishop of Constantinople in 398. The effect of his sermons was everywhere marvelous. He was very urgent that Catholics should frequent the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and in order to remove all excuse he abbreviated the long Liturgy until then in use. Saint Nilus relates that Saint John Chrysostom was there to help, when the priest began the Holy Sacrifice, “many of the blessed ones coming down from Heaven in shining garments, and with bare feet, eyes intent, and bowed heads, in utter stillness and silence, assisting at the consummation of the tremendous mystery.” Beloved as he was in Constantinople, his denunciations of vice made him many enemies. In 403 these procured his banishment, and although he was almost immediately recalled, it was not more than a reprieve. In 404 he was banished to Cucusus in the deserts of Taurus. In 407 he was wearing out, but his enemies were impatient. They hurried him off to Pytius on the Euxine, a rough journey of about 400 miles. He was assiduously exposed to every hardship, cold, wet, and semi starvation, but nothing could overcome his cheerfulness and his consideration for others. On the journey his sickness increased, he was warned his life was near its end. Thereupon, exchanging his travel stained clothes for white garments, he received Holy Communion, and then he said his customary words, “Glory be to God for all things. Amen,” then passed away to Christ. He faithfully pasted away in the year 407. His body is preserved in Saint Peter's at Rome.
Reflection: We should try to understand that the most productive work in the whole day, both for time and eternity, is that involved in hearing Mass. Saint John Chrysostom felt this so keenly that he allowed no consideration of venerable usage to interfere with the easiness of hearing Mass.
