St. John Chrysostom, Bishop & Doctor of the Church (27 January) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

On January 27, Dom Prosper Guéranger (OSB) from The Liturgical Year honors Saint John Chrysostom—the “Golden Mouth,” bishop and Doctor of the Church—as a fearless pastor who preached Christ, defended ecclesial liberty, and suffered exile for the Gospel. This reading reflects on Christ the Shepherd, the duty of pastors to feed the flock with the Word of God and the Sacraments, the three great “battles” faced by the Church’s shepherds (persecution, political interference, and the world’s vices), and Chrysostom’s unshakable confidence: the Word of God is not bound. If you’re following the traditional liturgical calendar, studying the Fathers of the Church, or seeking Catholic spiritual reading for the day, this is for you. 🕯️ St. John Chrysostom, pray for us. 00:00 Introduction 00:15 Bishop & Doctor — the need for pastors after Christ’s Ascension 00:51 The flock needs instruction: Word of God & Sacraments 01:26 Why faithful pastors are hated: conflict with the enemy 01:55 Three battles of the Church’s pastors: paganism, princes, and vice 04:21 Chrysostom’s pastoral duty and fearless preaching 05:21 Jealousy, court intrigue, and persecution of the saint 05:57 “Woe is unto me if I preach not the Gospel” 06:34 Chrysostom’s final exhortation before exile: storms and the Rock 10:01 “Heaven and earth shall pass…” the Church’s endurance 11:35 The devil’s rage: the Church is the faithful, not walls 13:41 “Thy will be done” — humility and obedience 14:21 The four great Eastern Doctors: Athanasius, Gregory, Basil, Chrysostom 15:36 Roman Office praises: life, preaching, and conflicts 16:55 First exile; recall; second banishment and suffering 18:09 Death, relics, translation; Chrysostom’s writings 19:40 Greek hymns of praise: doctrine, penance, consolation 23:25 Final prayer: detachment, fidelity, and the Church’s needs https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/january/january-27-st-john-chrysostom-bishop-doctor-of-the-church/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶ 1.
