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

Blessed stillness gives birth to blessed children: self-control, love and pure prayer.

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

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

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

Concern for one's soul means hardship and humility, for through these God forgives us all our sins.

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

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

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

Spiritual reading and prayer purify the intellect, while love and self-control purify the soul's passionate aspect.

Struggle until death to fulfill the commandments: purified through them, you will enter into life.

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

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.

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

,

Live simply and God will not leave you...

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

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

For now is the time to labor for the Lord, for salvation is found in the day of affliction: for it is written: 'In your patience gain ye your souls' (Luke 21:19)
