Summary/Abstract: This study covers the sanctity of priest life, as a determining factor for an accom plished mission in the parish, as it is reflected in the vision of St. John Chrysostom. In this regard, in the first part of the study I referred to the priest as the main model of pastoral care and to the crisis of authenticity. Then I referred to the sanctity of priest life as servant, to his moral life as teacher of the faithful flock, emphasizing the need of preaching by virtue facts. Finally I analyzed the priests' sins as a cause of offense for God's people, according to St. John Chrysostom theological vision. At the end of the study there are some conclusions designed to synthesize its contents.
