Archpriest Josiah B. Trenham:

Marriage and Virginity according to St. John Chrysostom

 

 

"A treasure trove of the distilled counsels of St. John Chrysostom - distilled from his thorough knowledge of and love for the Holy Scriptures and his profound respect for and obedience to the mind of the Church - concerning matters of great interest and importance for people of all ages and circumstances: virginity, chastity, celibacy, marriage, contraception, parenting, family life, sexual practices, divorce, remarriage, and widowhood." - from the foreword by His Grace Basil, Bishop of Wichita and Mid-America (Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America)

"Archpriest Josiah B. Trenham is pastor of St. Andrew Orthodox Christian Church in Riverside, California... is the founder of Patristic Nectar Publications... He and his presbytera, Catherine, were married in 1988, and from their happy union have been born nine children."

Saint Joseph the Hesychast (+1959) revealed to the future sisterhood of Panagia Odigitria in Portaria of Volos that he saw a vision concerning the future Gerontissa Makrina of Volos:

“While I was praying, I saw Maria (Gerontissa's name in the world) in a vision. She was in the middle, and around her were many little sheep. I realized that this was God’s way of informing me that she should be your abbess. So be obedient to her, and none of you should object to what she says.” The sisterhood that would become the nuns answered like from a single mouth: “May it be blessed” making their spiritual Father very pleased.

"Her simple speech speaks to the hearts of all,

for it comes from her authentic, holy experiences...

A person of praxis and theoria, Gerondissa was rich in virtues,

and she was and still is a guide of others toward Christ

and a model of authentic spiritual person,

when virtuous examples to follow are becoming

increasingly difficult to find."

Professor Emeritus, University of Athens
