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

Keep the commandments, and you will find peace; love God, and you will attain spiritual knowledge.

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

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

Long-suffering and readiness to forgive curb anger; love and compassion wither it.

You were commanded to keep the body as a servant, not to be unnaturally enslaved to its pleasures.

Struggle until death to fulfill the commandments: purified through them, you will enter into life.

Patient endurance is the soul's struggle for virtue; where there is struggle for virtue, self-indulgence is banished.

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

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

Spiritual reading and prayer purify the intellect, while love and self-control purify the soul's passionate aspect.

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

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.

Love and self-control purify the soul.

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

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

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

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