Today we turn toward another Doctor of the Church from the 4th and 5th century.
St. John was known for his oratory, his ability to turn a phrase and leave his listners gasping and weeping and moved to conversion.
He is a true word smith and his nickname was the golden mouth.
Today i have just one quote or phrase from the golden mouth himself. It is like a stick of dynamite.
It is worth memorizing and meditationg on over and over and over again.
"slander is worse than cannibalism!"
The next time you feel moved to gossip or speak those disparanging words about someone, stop and let the words of St. JOhn Chrysostom pulle dyour from the clutches of temptation.
