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

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.

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

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

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

One of the Fathers said: just as it is impossible for a man to see his face in troubled water, so too the soul, unless it be cleansed of alien thoughts, cannot pray to God in contemplation.
