About the Book

"On the Priesthood: A Treatise in Six Books" by Saint John Chrysostom, translated by Rev. Patrick Boyle, C.M., is a seminal work that delves into the profound spiritual and theological dimensions of the priestly vocation. Written by one of the early Church Fathers, this treatise offers an in-depth exploration of the responsibilities, challenges, and spiritual requirements of the priesthood. The treatise is divided into six books, each addressing different aspects of the priestly office. Saint John Chrysostom, renowned for his eloquence and deep theological insights, begins by discussing the divine nature and immense responsibility of the priesthood. He emphasizes the sacred role of the priest as a mediator between God and humanity, tasked with administering the sacraments, preaching the Gospel, and guiding the faithful. Chrysostom then examines the personal qualities necessary for those who aspire to the priesthood. He underscores the importance of moral integrity, deep spiritual life, and unwavering commitment to the pastoral mission. The treatise highlights the virtues of humility, patience, and self-sacrifice as essential traits for a priest, drawing on scriptural examples and personal reflections. A significant portion of the work is dedicated to the challenges and temptations that priests face. Chrysostom offers practical advice on how to overcome these difficulties through prayer, study, and reliance on God's grace. He also discusses the dangers of pride, ambition, and worldly distractions, urging priests to maintain their focus on their spiritual duties and the well-being of their congregations. The treatise also addresses the theological foundation of the priesthood, exploring its biblical roots and ecclesiastical traditions. Chrysostom articulates a vision of the priesthood that is deeply rooted in the life and teachings of Christ, emphasizing the continuity between the apostolic ministry and the contemporary priestly office.
