Abstract

„St. John Chrysostom in the life and the work of St. Iustin Popović” - In this article the author describes the love and devotion that St. Iustin Popović had for the great scholar of the Church, St. John Chrysostom. The respect for this great Saint runs deep into the childhood of St. Iustin and lasted his entire life. The name of St. John Chrysostom was always present in the life and the prayers of St. Iustin, causing him deep tears and embracing his heart. The love of St. Iustin Popović embodied in the joy of the vision in which St. John Chrysostom blessed him personally. He was considered the greatest Saint of the Church. He was the example that St. Iustin followed during his life, being one of the most quoted Church fathers in his theological, exegetical and pastoral work. St. John Chrysostom and St. Iustin Popović represent an example worth following by the contemporary shepherds of souls, wherever their mission should take place.
