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

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.

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

Apt silence bridles anger.

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.

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

Control your stomach, sleep, anger, and tongue, and you will not 'dash your foot against a stone.'

Spiritual reading and prayer purify the intellect, while love and self-control purify the soul's passionate aspect.

The study of divine principles teaches knowledge of God to the person who lives in truth, longing and reverence.

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

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

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

Patience reigns quietly and fruitfully in the life of the man who does not harm or endanger anyone, who is content with little and is obedient to the commandments of the Heavenly Father.

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

Apt silence bridles anger.

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

Make the body serve the commandments, keeping it so far as possible free from sickness and sensual pleasure.

Patience is love and obedience.

Patience increases when a person takes in account god.
