This speech by Saint Chrysostom is found in Migne's Patrologia, volume 56, columns 271-280, and in the ancient text it is titled: "On the apostolic saying: 'But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come'." The speech refers to the power of faith, which sees things that are not visible and guides the soul from the confusion of thoughts brought about by hardships into tranquility. The saints, like Peter and Paul, are concerned not only for the people of their time, but also for future generations, since all faithful believers throughout the ages constitute one body and are not separated by place and time, as they are connected by Christ and love. The reason why hardships accumulate at the end of this present life is the punishment for sins and the remedies for human illnesses. The unknown nature of the end of the world, he says, is meant to keep us vigilant in faith and in the practice of virtues.
