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

‘Wine makes glad the heart of man' (Ps. 104:15). But you who have professed sorrow and grief should turn away from such gladness and rejoice in spiritual gifts. If you rejoice in wine, you will live with shameful thoughts and distress will overwhelm you.

A holy man told us one day, that the source of all heresies and schisms in the church was, loving God too little, and ourselves too much.

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.

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