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

When we turn our spirit from the contemplation of God, we become the slaves of carnal passions.

A man may seem to be silent, but if his heart is condemning others, he is babbling ceaselessly. But there may be another who talks from morning till night and yet he is truly silent, that is, he says nothing that is not profitable.

The way of humility is this: self-control, prayer, and thinking yourself inferior to all creatures.

Praise God continually with spiritual hymns and always remain in meditation and in this way you will be able to bear the burden of the temptations that come upon you. A traveler who is carrying a heavy load pauses from time to time and draws in deep breaths; it makes the journey easier and the burden lighter.

True escape from the world is for a person to know how to control his tongue, wherever he might be.

Our own will is like a wall of brass between us and God, preventing us from coming near to Him or contemplating His mercy.

It is better to eat meat and drink wine and not to eat the flesh of one's brethren through slander.
