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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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