Preaching the Word

We are all familiar with the line, "Practice what you preach"! If you are going to proclaim the word to people you need to back it up with action. There have been many wonderful examples of preaching in the history of the Church. Today, we celebrate one of those saints, John Chrysostom. One commentary says it all: "Chrysostom " means "Golden Mouth". Saint John is remembered for his eloquence in preaching God's word to small and great alike (Magnificat, 170). Let us ask Saint John Chrsostom to intercede for us that we may be eloquent and not be afraid to preach the word. God Bless You!!!
