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

A man who submits to the statutes of the fathers, reaches his goal before he has made a single step.

He who wishes to tear up the account of his sins and to be inscribed in the Divine book of the saved, can find for this purpose no better means than obedience.

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

Prove your love and zeal for wisdom in actual deeds.

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

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.
