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

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

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

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

Ascetic exertion, at the personal, family, and parish level, particularly of prayer and fasting, is the characteristic of Orthodoxy.

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

The greatest weapons of someone striving to lead a life of inward stillness are self-control, love, prayer, and spiritual reading.

The view we take of our Savior's dispensation is the view of the holy fathers who preceded us. By reading their works we equip our own mind to follow them and to introduce no innovation into Orthodoxy.

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

Just as desire and rage multiply our sins, so self-control and humility erase them.

We are sons of God or of Satan according to whether we conform to goodness or to evil.

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

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

Go and have pity on all, for through pity, one finds freedom of speech before God.

If you have a heart, you can be saved.

Ascetic exertion, at the personal, family, and parish level, particularly of prayer and fasting, is the characteristic of Orthodoxy.

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

Keep your mind from malicious thoughts of your neighbors, knowing that such thoughts are hurled by diabolical power, to keep your mind from your own sins and from seeking.

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