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

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

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

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

If you lay down rules for yourself, do not disobey yourself; for he who cheats himself is self-deluded.

If you have a heart, you can be saved.

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

Apt silence bridles anger.

Self-love -- that is, friendship for the body -- is the source of evil in the soul.

Strive with all your might to bring your interior activity into accord with God, and you will overcome exterior passions.

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

Listlessness is an apathy of soul; and a soul becomes apathetic when sick with self-indulgence.

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.

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

Apt silence bridles anger.

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

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

If you abandon God and are a slave to the passions, you cannot reap God's mercy.

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