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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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