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

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

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

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

Love and self-control purify the soul.

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

Listlessness is an apathy of soul; and a soul becomes apathetic when sick with self-indulgence.

He who fears God will pay careful attention to his soul and will free himself from communion with evil.

If a man accuses himself, he is protected on all sides.

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

Fear of the Lord conquers desire, and distress that accords with God's will repulses sensual pleasure.

True escape from the world is for a person to know how to control his tongue, wherever he might be.

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

Obedience with abstinence gives men control over wild beasts.

All sin is due to sensual pleasure, all forgiveness to hardship and distress.

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

Self-love -- that is, friendship for the body -- is the source of evil in the soul.

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

The way of humility is this: self-control, prayer, and thinking yourself inferior to all creatures.
