St. John Chrysostom ~ Children who have died

    As for children who have died, he places in their mouths the following words:

"The holy angels peacefully separated us from our bodies, and having good guides, we went without harm past the powers of the air. The evil spirits did not find in us what they were seeking; they did not notice what they wished to put to shame; seeing an immaculate soul, they were ashamed; seeing an undefiled tongue, they were silent. We passed by and put them to shame. The net was rent, and we were delivered. Blessed is God Who did not give us as a prey to them"


(St. John Chrysostom, Homily 2, "On Remembering the Dead").
