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

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

'If our prayer is not in harmony with our deeds, we labor in vain,' Abba Moses often told the young monks. 'How are we to accomplish such harmony?' they asked him one day. 'When we make that which we seek fitting to our prayer,' explained the saint. 'Only then can the soul be reconciled with its Creator and its prayer be acceptable, when it sets aside all of its own evil intentions.'

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

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