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

Obedience responds to obedience. When someone obeys God, then God obeys his request.

Long-suffering and readiness to forgive curb anger; love and compassion wither it.

Self-control and strenuous effort curb desire; stillness and intense longing for God wither it.

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

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

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

Make the body serve the commandments, keeping it so far as possible free from sickness and sensual pleasure.

The study of divine principles teaches knowledge of God to the person who lives in truth, longing and reverence.

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

Keep the commandments, and you will find peace; love God, and you will attain spiritual knowledge.

The greatest weapons of someone striving to lead a life of inward stillness are self-control, love, prayer, and spiritual reading.

Worldly virtues promote human glory, spiritual virtues the glory of God.

Orthodoxy is life; one cannot talk about it, one must live it.

You were commanded to keep the body as a servant, not to be unnaturally enslaved to its pleasures.

The person who is unaffected by the things of this world loves stillness; and he who loves no human thing loves all men.

According to the degree to which the intellect is stripped of the passions, the Holy Spirit initiates the intellect into the mysteries of the age to be.

If you are not willing to repent through freely choosing to suffer, unsought sufferings will providentially be imposed on you.

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