Letters to Innocent I, Pope of Rome
Letter to a Young Widow: Addressing the widow of a fast-rising politician who died not yet in his prime, Chrysostom urges her to look forward to a reunion with her beloved husband in heaven; if, on the other hand, it is the sudden end of the couple's social climb which most distresses her, she should remember the teaching of the Greek philosophers (with whose works she is said to be familiar) concerning the transience and peril of earthly glory. And, he adds, during this time of barbarian invasion, there are many widows, including prominent ones. More importantly, widowhood is Biblically an honored state like virginity.
