Many thanks in advance for any information. >Marijim Thoene > I had occasion to search for this quote several months ago in connection with a sermon by Thomas of Villanova, and despite many hours of effort, I could not find it in John Chrysostom. For what it's worth, the Villanova sermon claims that the quote is from: "Chrysostom on this verse of Matthew: The powers of the heavens will be shaken (Mt 24:29)." If anyone can track down the source of this quote, please post the answer to the list or send it to me directly. Stephen A.
