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

According to the degree to which the intellect is stripped of the passions, the Holy Spirit initiates the intellect into the mysteries of the age to be.

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

Patient endurance is the soul's struggle for virtue; where there is struggle for virtue, self-indulgence is banished.

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

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

He who fears God will pay careful attention to his soul and will free himself from communion with evil.

Worldly virtues promote human glory, spiritual virtues the glory of God.

If you have a heart, you can be saved.

Spiritual freedom is release from the passions; without Christ’s mercy you cannot attain it.

A haughty person is not aware of his faults, or a humble person of his good qualities. An evil ignorance blinds the first, an ignorance pleasing to God blinds the second.

Break the bonds of your friendship for the body and give it only what is absolutely necessary.

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

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

He who fears God will pay careful attention to his soul and will free himself from communion with evil.

Struggle until death to fulfill the commandments: purified through them, you will enter into life.

Apt silence bridles anger.

All sin is due to sensual pleasure, all forgiveness to hardship and distress.

It is an insult to the intelligence to be subject to what lacks intelligence and to concern itself with shameful desires.
