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

A man may seem to be silent, but if his heart is condemning others, he is babbling ceaselessly. But there may be another who talks from morning till night and yet he is truly silent, that is, he says nothing that is not profitable.

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

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

If, wishing to correct another, you are moved to anger, you gratify your own passion. Do not lose yourself in order to save another.

Our own will is like a wall of brass between us and God, preventing us from coming near to Him or contemplating His mercy.

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.
