Saint John Chrysostom, bishop and doctor

Memorial

Saint John Chrysostom was born at Antioch about the year 349. After an extensive education he embraced a life of asceticism. He was ordained a priest and distinguished himself by his preaching which achieved great spiritual results among his hearers. He was elected bishop of Constantinople in 397 and proved himself a capable pastor, committed to reforming the life of the clergy and the faithful. Twice he was forced into exile by the hatred of the imperial court and the envy of his enemies. After he had completed his difficult labors, he died at Comana in Pontus on September 14, 407. His preaching and writing explained Catholic doctrine and presented the ideal Christian life, for this reason he was called “Chrysostom” or “Golden Mouth”.

Saint John Chrysostom,
Pray for us!
 
Father,
the strength of all who trust in you,
you made John Chrysostom
renowned for his eloquence
and heroic in his sufferings.
May we learn from his teaching
and gain courage from his patient endurance.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
– Amen.

We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you, because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world!
 
How do we make the sign of the Cross?
From About Catholicism by Scott P. Richert,
Question: How do we make the sign of the Cross?
Answer: We make the sign of the Cross by putting the right hand to the forehead, then on the breast, and then to the left and right shoulders, saying, In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

I saw an international figure make the sign of the Cross putting his right hand on the forehead, then on the breast, and on the right shoulder first then the left.

Orthodox, I think!
 
The sign of the cross is the most terrible weapon against the Devil. Thus the Church wishes not only that we should have it continually in front of our minds to recall to us just what our souls are worth and what they cost Jesus Christ, but also that we should make it at every juncture ourselves: when we go to bed, when we awaken during the night, when we get up, when we begin any action, and, above all, when we are tempted.
St. John Vianney

Year II of Saint of the day and Feast days.

Today marks exactly one year since the start of this thread on 15 September 2010. Since then there has been daily updates. I have enjoyed the postings and have learnt a lot, both from my own readings and from the many Forum members who have contributed to the thread and made it such a wonderful read and something to look forward to on a daily basis, at least for me.
Shin, Reginator, Kelvin and others, God’s Blessings to you all!
I could not find from a Catholic source how many saints the Church has to date, so I turned to Wikepedia and according this source,
there are more than 10000 Roman Catholic saints. You can see that our one year of postings has just exposed the tip of the iceberg, so to speak.
This second year will be dedicated to the less well known saints.
Welcome all!

I am indeed happy Shin. Looking forward to another year, God willing, with the less well known saints.
 
September 15

Today is also the feast day of
Saint Leobinus of Chartres
Among many other saints.
 
Saint Leobinus of Chartres
Also known as Lubinus or Lubin of Chartres
Bishop of Chartres.
Saint Leobinus was born in a poor family of peasants near Poitiers in France in the 6th century. As a youth, he worked as a shepherd as well as a field worker. He, however had a hunger for education, but his parents being poor, could not afford to educate him. Leobinus travelled to the nearest monastery which was at Noailles. He was taken in by the monks and they came to an arrangement so that during the day, he worked for the monastery and at night, the monks taught him.
Eventually, Leobinus felt drawn to the hermitic life. He spent sometime as a hermit with Saint Avitus of Perche, before joining an abbey near Lyons. During his stay here, the monastery was attacked by raiders (renegade soldiers during a war between the Franks and Burgundians). He was tortured to force him to reveal the hiding place of the treasures of the monastery; he never did. He was left for dead but recovered.
He then rejoined Saint Avitus at Le Perche and after the later’s death, he was ordained and made abbot of Brou and soon after he was appointed Bishop of Chartres. As Bishop, Leobinus instituted reforms and participated in councils at Orleans and Paris.
He died on 14 March 558 after a prolonged illness,
Saint Leobinus,
Pray for us!
