St. John Chrysostom's incomparable uplifting words offer spiritual restoration alleviating the deepest anguishes in life. After Saint John's exile to Armenia, Saint Olympias undertook the defense of his cause and was sent into exile to Nicomedia, where Chrysostom sent her wonderful letters of consolation, exhorting her to endure the trials and injustice with faith and patience. Chrysostom's letters to Olympias, revitalizing consolations of a soul in exile, are incomparable encouragements demonstrating to every person suffering adversity how fortitude in even the most extreme difficulties is born from love for God. During this COVID-19 trial, let's learn from St. John how the love of God can work in our lives.
We will be discussing Letters to St. Olympias: Consolation of a Soul in Exile July 16, 2020 at 7:00 PM via Zoom. The Zoom invitation will be sent by Father Christos one week prior to the date. Please order the book directly from St. Anthony’s Monastery ($8 +): https://shop.stanthonysmonastery.org/letters-to-saint-olympias.html
