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

Do not seek to find the cause of temptations or whence they come; only pray to suffer them with gratitude.

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

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

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

If, wishing to correct another, you are moved to anger, you gratify your own passion. Do not lose yourself in order to save another.

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.
