"Our Conscience Reveals God" By John Chrysostom
Wednesday, February 23, 2011
"One way of knowing God is through the universal nature of things, but there is another way that is no less important- the way that is provided by conscience.
.....The understanding of good and evil is rooted in us, and our inner conscience makes it all clear to us. Thus there are two teachers who have been given to us from the beginning, creation and conscience, which have taught the human race without ever uttering a word."
(Sermons on Hannah 1-3)
John Chrysostom (c. 349–407, Greek: Archbishop of Constantinople, was an important Early Church Father. He is known for his eloquence in preaching and public speaking, his denunciation of abuse of authority by both ecclesiastical and political leaders, the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, and his ascetic sensibilities. After his death (or, according to some sources, during his life) he was given the Greek surname chrysostomos, meaning "golden mouthed", rendered in English as Chrysostom
