## Resource

The sermon you are about to hear comes from Saint John Chrysostom, one of the great Fathers of the Church and a preacher renowned for his clarity, courage, and pastoral realism. Speaking on marriage and family life, he draws directly from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians to present a vision that is demanding, countercultural, and deeply humane. Chrysostom does not offer sentimentality or abstraction. He speaks about husbands and wives as they truly are, with their weaknesses, fears, sacrifices, and daily struggles, and he places all of it under the model of Christ and His Church. In an age that often misunderstands authority, love, freedom, and sacrifice, his words remain strikingly fresh. What you will hear is not a theory of marriage, but a call to holiness lived out in ordinary life, where love is proved through patience, self-giving, and fidelity to God.
