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

Deeds

A man is neither saved nor lost by the place he is in, but is saved or lost by his deeds. Neither a holy place nor a holy state is of use to him who does not fulfill the commandments of the Lord.

St. Niphon

Scriptures

Ignorance of the scriptures is a precipice and a deep abyss.

St. Epiphanius, Bishop of Salamis

Theotokos

Was there ever anyone of any breeding who dared to speak the name of Holy Mary, and being questioned, did not immediately add, 'the Virgin'? For by such added names the positive proofs of merit are apparent... And to the Holy Mary, Virgin is invariably added, for that Holy Woman remains undefiled.

St. Epiphanius, Bishop of Salamis

Heresy

Guard yourselves from soul-destroying heresy, communion with which is alienation from Christ.

St. Theodore the Studite

Animals, Saints

Obedience with abstinence gives men control over wild beasts.

Abba Antony

Scriptures
