Happy Feast of St. John Chrysostom! He was an early Church Father and the archbishop of Constantinople in the 4th Century. He was a brilliant preacher - Chrysostom means “golden-tongued!” He is held in high regard by Byzantine Catholics and it is the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom which is often celebrated in Byzantine Churches. I figured today would be a good day to remind us all that the Catholic Church is bigger than just the Roman Rite! What does that turn “Roman Catholic” even mean?
