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.

Love and self-control purify the soul.

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

Apt silence bridles anger.

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

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

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

The adversary will sit in the temple of Jerusalem, in order to show himself as Christ, he will demand that those who are captivated by him should worship him as Christ. The Antichrist will demand worship as if he were God.

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

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

A dog is better than I am, for he has love and he does not judge.

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

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

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

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

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

The intellect becomes a stranger to the things of this world when its attachment to the senses has been completely sundered.

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