description: THE name of St. John Chrysostom the most eminent orator in the history of the Catholic Church is surely well known to you. This saintly bishop was great when he preached great when he wrote great when he ruled over his followers as bishop. But do you know when he was greatest of all? When he suffered. By the unsearchable will of divine Providence he received an exceedingly great measure of suffering. Empress Eudoxia whose vanity he had offended sent him into exile; and the world-famous aged bishop had to walk on foot in the most terrible heat through Bithynia Persia Cappadocia and Cilicia the whole long way to Cucusus. On the entire journey he was irregularly nourished and was tormented by headache by a disorder of the stomach and by fever. We can scarcely imagine how he must have suffered during the seventy days of that journey on foot until he arrived at his place of exile.
