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

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

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

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

To those who would fain stand, neither the guardianship of saints nor the defences of angels are wanting.

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.

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

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

If you abandon God and are a slave to the passions, you cannot reap God's mercy.

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

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

Keep close to Jesus.

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

The intellect becomes a stranger to the things of this world when its attachment to the senses has been completely sundered.

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

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

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

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

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