The moral and ascetic work of St. John Chrysostom “To the Stagirius”, which is offered to readers, was written at a time when Chrysostom was still a deacon, and was addressed to his friend-monk, overcome by demonic attacks, and touches on the theme of the suffering of the righteous, God’s Providence and the malice of the devil in relation to Christians. Chrysostom seeks to console his friend and convey to him that involuntary sufferings, including those inflicted by demons, do not occur without Divine permission and design and encourage those who have undergone them to endure them with patience, courage and hope in God's mercy, which in turn leads a person to salvation of the soul in blessed eternity and to holiness. Saint John Chrysostom, using numerous examples from the Holy Scriptures, shows the suffering of the righteous and their steadfastness in these sufferings, which has become a role model for all suffering Christians, and offers effective ways to deal with the passions of despondency and sadness that naturally overcome a person in different circumstances. This book will be especially useful in a state of despondency and depression in order to adequately overcome these serious mental illnesses.
