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

When we turn our spirit from the contemplation of God, we become the slaves of carnal passions.

If the soul is vigilant and withdraws from all distraction and abandons its own will, then the spirit of God invades it and it can conceive because it is free to do so.

Praise God continually with spiritual hymns and always remain in meditation and in this way you will be able to bear the burden of the temptations that come upon you. A traveler who is carrying a heavy load pauses from time to time and draws in deep breaths; it makes the journey easier and the burden lighter.

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

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

It is better to eat meat and drink wine and not to eat the flesh of one's brethren through slander.
