**John became Antiochs chief homilist, often preaching on Scripture, and especially on Pauls letters. Those who heard him marveled that he quoted from memory and never used notes. His homilies were so good that people even had them transcribed and published. Consequently, much of Johns preaching has survived to become a resource for preachers down through the centuries.**
From the golden mouthed preacher and Doctor of the Church.

Like John Chrysostom. One of those who managed to say what needed to be said.

BUMP for those whose mouths are given to preach the inexpressible riches of God’s mercy in Christ Jesus to all who have inherited Adam’s sin and fear death. The heart fails at such a thought that God would give up everything out of love for those who reject Him. Those who preach Christ Jesus as He has revealed Himself in the biblical texts are given to marvel that they have been granted such grace.
Absolution under the merits of Christ Jesus is essential to life. All praise to God on high for His unfathomable grace toward the poor, and that means *all* of us.

The Paschal Homily of +John Chrysostom is a fixed piece in the Paschal (Easter) liturgy of the Eastern Churches.
In recent years I have been including a substantial excerpt in my own on Easter Day.
