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

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.

He who gives thanks, and he who glorifies, have kindred feelings, in that they bless their Helper for the benefits they have received.

A dog is better than I am, for he has love and he does not judge.

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

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

Constant prayer is the strength, and the armor, and the wall of the soul.

Keep your mind from malicious thoughts of your neighbors, knowing that such thoughts are hurled by diabolical power, to keep your mind from your own sins and from seeking.

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)
