A collection of scriptural meditations from Saints and Fathers of the Church.

Humility never falls, for it lies beneath everything.

God-fearing sorrow mourns either its own sins, or those of others.

During a time of disturbance and warfare of thoughts, one should lessen a little even the ordinary quantity of food and drink.

,

The beginning of evil is heedlessness.

Patience adorns the soul with diamonds which are not of the earth but belong to the Jerusalem that is above. Patience is a sweet word. Patience is a sweet breath. Patience is an invincible weapon. Patience is a priceless adornment of man. Patience is a blessing of God.

Silence of the lips is better and more wonderful than any edifying conversation. Our fathers embraced it with reverence and were glorified through it.

,

If we desire to acquire faith the foundation of all blessings, the door to God's mysteries, unflagging defeat of our enemies, the most necessary of all the virtues, the wings of prayer and the dwelling of God within the soul--we must endure every trial imposed by our enemies and by our many and various thoughts... if we forcibly triumph over the trials and temptations that befall us, it will not be we who are victorious, but Christ, Who is present in us through faith.

He who smells the smell of one's own foul odor doesn't smell the foul odor of anyone else.

,

Patience must grow and not diminish, because when it diminishes sin increases in the life of man, evil results.

, ,

Cultivate patience. Patience is a heavenly gift, a gift from the Heavenly Father... With patience, and love for your fellow men, you become a victor in life's continual trials.

, ,

The more a man is found worthy to receive God's gifts, the more he ought to consider himself a debtor to God.

Teach your mouth to say what is in your heart.

Reading and spiritual knowledge are good, but only when they lead to greater humility.

Patience is love and obedience.

, ,

He who has received a gift from God, and is ungrateful for it, is already on the way to losing it.

When there is no patience, all goodness in the soul is quickly suppressed and sin grows

, ,

Pray ceaselessly, and spend day after day in heedfulness unto the salvation of your soul.

Patience increases when a person takes in account god.
