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

Spiritual freedom is release from the passions; without Christ’s mercy you cannot attain it.

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

He who wishes to purify his faults purifies them with tears, and he who wishes to acquire virtues, acquires them with tears; for weeping is the way the Scriptures and our Fathers give us, when they say 'Weep!' Truly, there is no other way than this.

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

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

The beginning of evil is heedlessness.

Everything has already begun, and everything always begins anew for the Church, with the Resurrection of our Lord.

Teach your mouth to say what is in your heart.

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

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

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

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

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

Patience adorns the soul with diamonds which are not of the earth but belong to the Jerusalem that is above. Patience is a sweet word. Patience is a sweet breath. Patience is an invincible weapon. Patience is a priceless adornment of man. Patience is a blessing of God.

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

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

Patience is love and obedience.
