Saint John Chrysostom Quotes About Honor

• Him who is dead and gone honor with remembrance, not with tears.

  San Juan Crisóstomo

  Christian, Remembrance, Honor

• Consider how august a privilege it is, when angels are present, and archangels throng around, when cherubim and seraphim encircle with their blaze the throne, that a mortal may approach with unrestrained confidence, and converse with heaven's dread Sovereign! O, what honor was ever conferred like this?

  San Juan Crisóstomo

• What shall I say! And how shall I describe this Birth to you? For this wonder fills me with astonishment. The Ancient of Days has become an infant. He Who sits upon the sublime and heavenly Throne, now lies in a manger. And He Who cannot be touched, Who is simple, without complexity, and incorporeal, now lies subject to the hands of men. He Who has broken the bonds of sinners, is now bound by an infant's bands. But He has decreed that ignominy shall become honor, infamy be clothed with glory, and total humiliation the measure of His Goodness.

  San Juan Crisóstomo

• Ya veis cuántos son los beneficios del bautismo, y algunos piensan que su gracia celestial consiste sólo en la remisión de los pecados, ¡pero nosotros hemos enumerado diez honores [que otorga]! Por eso bautizamos incluso a los niños, aunque no estén contaminados por los pecados [personales], para que se les conceda la santidad, la justicia, la adopción, la herencia, la fraternidad con Cristo, y para que sean miembros suyos [de Cristo]...".

  San Juan Crisóstomo
