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

A wise man is one who pays attention to himself and is quick to separate himself from all defilement.

Long-suffering and readiness to forgive curb anger; love and compassion wither it.

Strive to love every man equally, and you will simultaneously expel all the passions.

Everything has already begun, and everything always begins anew for the Church, with the Resurrection of our Lord.

Keep the commandments, and you will find peace; love God, and you will attain spiritual knowledge.

The soul's health consists in dispassion and spiritual knowledge; no slave to sensual pleasure can attain it.

Do not neglect the practice of the virtues; if you do, your spiritual knowledge will decrease, and when famine occurs you will go down into Egypt (Genesis 41:57, 46:6).

Self-control and strenuous effort curb desire; stillness and intense longing for God wither it.

You were commanded to keep the body as a servant, not to be unnaturally enslaved to its pleasures.

A dog is better than I am, for he has love and he does not judge.

The person who listens to Christ fills himself with light; and if he imitates Christ, he reclaims himself.

Break the bonds of your friendship for the body and give it only what is absolutely necessary.

The person who is unaffected by the things of this world loves stillness; and he who loves no human thing loves all men.

Concern for one's soul means hardship and humility, for through these God forgives us all our sins.

Make the body serve the commandments, keeping it so far as possible free from sickness and sensual pleasure.

Strive with all your might to bring your interior activity into accord with God, and you will overcome exterior passions.

Spiritual freedom is release from the passions; without Christ’s mercy you cannot attain it.

Strive to love every man equally, and you will simultaneously expel all the passions.
