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

A man is neither saved nor lost by the place he is in, but is saved or lost by his deeds. Neither a holy place nor a holy state is of use to him who does not fulfill the commandments of the Lord.

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

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.

Do you wish God to hear your prayer immediately, brother? When you lift your hands up to heaven, pray first of all, with your heart, for your enemies and God will grant you speedily whatever else you request.

If, wishing to correct another, you are moved to anger, you gratify your own passion. Do not lose yourself in order to save another.
