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

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

When one meets with obstacles on the way of salvation, one must humble oneself and ask God's help.

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

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

Love and self-control purify the soul.

Labor conscientiously, pray, and ask God for patience. Tribulations are a good sign; they show that we are on the narrow way.

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

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

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

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

The beginning of evil is heedlessness.

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.

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

If Nabuzardan, the court cook of the King of the Babylonians, had not gone to Jerusalem, then the Temple would not have burned (cf. 2 Kings 24), That is to say, a person’s mind is not attacked by the flames of carnal pleasures, if a person is not conquered by gluttony.

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

A wise man is one who pays attention to himself and is quick to separate himself from all defilement.

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