I found it.  It's in Homily XXXIV on the Epistle to the Hebrews in his comments on Heb 13. 24-25.

  Sorry,

Chrysostom insightfully drew attention the consolatory nature of much 
of Hebrews. For him, the meaning of LOGOS PARAKHSEWS is “a 
consolatory message”:

"And observe his wisdom. He does not say, “I urge you, then, to put 
up with my message of” admonition [PARAINESEWS], but with my “message 
of exhortation,” that is, of consolation, of encouragement 
[PARAMUQIAS, PROTROPHS]. He means to say that no one would be wearied 
at the length of what has been said." (J. Chrys. Hom. Heb Montfaucon 
12.34.448.17-23. Translation and emphases are the author’s).

A brief perusal of Chrysostom’s Hom. Heb. reveals that consolation is 
a leitmotif of thses sermons (Montfaucon 12:2.38.25-27; 3.58.3-30; 
4.61.10-14; 21-3; 4.63.26-63.3; 4.65.3-10; 4.68.19-23; 5.80.6-10; 
10.148.21-30; 10.149.19-150.7; 11.158.8-22; 11.159.11-13; 11.160ff; 
11.163.7-164.1; 20.266.5; 20.269.5; 21.278.14-18; 21.278.26-279.4; 
21.280.20-25; 28.362.1-9; 28.364.24-365.6; 28.370.18-25; 
28.385.11-17; 28.386.22; 28.386.26-9; 34.448.17-23).

For a cogent exploration of the relation of Chrysostom’s consolatory 
rhetoric and Stoic thought see, Leokadia Malunowiczówna, “Les 
élements stoïciens dans la consolation grecque chrétienne,” Studia 
Patristica (vol 13, part 2; Classica et Hellenica, Theologica, 
Liturgica, Ascetica. Studia Patristica: papers presented to the Sixth 
International Conference on Patristic Studies held in Oxford 1971; 
Berlin: Akademie Verlag, 1975), 35-45.
