The reactions of the people to the deposition of their beloved patriarch and the occurrence of a sudden accident in the imperial palace frightened Empress Eudoxia, and raised her fears of some punishment from heaven for the exile of Patr. John. She immediately ordered Chrysostom’s recall. Initially, Chrysostom was reluctant to return to Constantinople. But, when he did return he was met with great rejoicing by the people that caused intense fear among Theophilius and his supporters. To save themselves they fled the capital. <ref> Chrysostom Baur (1910), [http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08452b.htm “St. John Chrysostom”], ''The Catholic Encyclopedia'', Vol. VIII (New York: Robert Appleton Company)</ref>
However, the failed attempt at “The Oak” did not deter Chrysostom's enemies. They persisted in their attempts to unseat him. On [[June 24]], 404, they again succeeded in having him deposed and exiled a second time. As he laid dying on the road to exile, the last words that the sainted John Chrysostom, delivered were "Glory be to God for all things!"
