St. John Chrysostom: Death as a Flight to Heaven

The post shares a saying attributed to St. John Chrysostom: "If you see your son or a relative lying in repose, do not think of him as dead, but as one who has flown away and ascended to heaven." The quote reframes the death of a loved one as a departure to heaven rather than an end.

Main points

  • Quote from St. John Chrysostom on death as ascension
  • Encourages viewing the deceased as having flown to heaven
