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

True escape from the world is for a person to know how to control his tongue, wherever he might be.

Forgive and pray, in order to live your life serenely. And do not do to others that which you do not want them to do to you, or return the evil which they have done to you.

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.

Patience increases when a person takes in account god.

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

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.

The Antichrist will not rule over all, but only over those who are worthy of perdition, who, even if he did not come, still would have deprived themselves of salvation.

When there is no patience, all goodness in the soul is quickly suppressed and sin grows

The Antichrist will not only pronounce himself highest of the false gods, but will sit in the Temple of God, as if he were God ... the Jews, who did not want to believe in the Lord, as though He were an adversary to God, will believe in the Antichrist who will pronounce himself to be the god of all.

When someone is free, he has rights and obligations. When he gets married, he has few rights and very many obligations. When, however, he obtains children also, he has no rights, but only obligations.

Pray before your body takes rest on your bed... If you are tempted, make the Sign (of the Cross) on your forehead reverently… for this is a known and tested weapon against the Devil.

Exercise patience out of love for your fellow man. Exercise patience in order to benefit your soul. For if you do not take your soul into consideration, you lose your patience.

The way of humility is this: self-control, prayer, and thinking yourself inferior to all creatures.

Patience reigns quietly and fruitfully in the life of the man who does not harm or endanger anyone, who is content with little and is obedient to the commandments of the Heavenly Father.

Patience must grow and not diminish, because when it diminishes sin increases in the life of man, evil results.
