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

Do not neglect the practice of the virtues; if you do, your spiritual knowledge will decrease, and when famine occurs you will go down into Egypt (Genesis 41:57, 46:6).

The person who listens to Christ fills himself with light; and if he imitates Christ, he reclaims himself.

Self-love -- that is, friendship for the body -- is the source of evil in the soul.

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

It is an insult to the intelligence to be subject to what lacks intelligence and to concern itself with shameful desires.

Patience increases when a person takes in account god.

Patience is love and obedience.

Patience increases obedience to the Divine words that have been written, are being written, and will be written.

The soul's health consists in dispassion and spiritual knowledge; no slave to sensual pleasure can attain it.

Just as desire and rage multiply our sins, so self-control and humility erase them.

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

Patience must grow and not diminish, because when it diminishes sin increases in the life of man, evil results.

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

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

Teach your mouth to say what is in your heart.

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

If a man accuses himself, he is protected on all sides.

All sin is due to sensual pleasure, all forgiveness to hardship and distress.
