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

If you are not willing to repent through freely choosing to suffer, unsought sufferings will providentially be imposed on you.

He who endures distress, will be granted joys; and he who bears with unpleasant things, will not be deprived of the pleasant.

Prayer is a branch (of a tree) of meekness, and freedom from anger. Prayer is an expression of joy and thankfulness. Prayer is a remedy against sorrow and depression.

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.

In the humble God rejoices, but from the proud He is driven away; where there is humility, the glory of God shines forth.

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

Keep the commandments, and you will find peace; love God, and you will attain spiritual knowledge.

Do not shun poverty and afflictions, these wings of buoyant prayer.

The soul's health consists in dispassion and spiritual knowledge; no slave to sensual pleasure can attain it.

Reading the scriptures is a great safeguard against sin.

Prayer is a remedy against grief and depression.

If you want to pray properly, do not let yourself be upset or you will run in vain.

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

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

The person who is unaffected by the things of this world loves stillness; and he who loves no human thing loves all men.

Apt silence bridles anger.

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

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