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

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

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

Love and self-control purify the soul.

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

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

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

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

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

Fear of the Lord conquers desire, and distress that accords with God's will repulses sensual pleasure.

The greatest weapons of someone striving to lead a life of inward stillness are self-control, love, prayer, and spiritual reading.

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

Break the bonds of your friendship for the body and give it only what is absolutely necessary.

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

He who fears God will pay careful attention to his soul and will free himself from communion with evil.

The Antichrist must be understood as spiritual phenomenon..., why will everyone in the world want to bow down to him, obviously it is because there is something in him that responds to something in us, that something being lack of Christ in us, if we will bow down to him (God forbid that we do so) it will be because we feel an attraction to some kind of external thing which might even look like Christianity since Antichrist means the one that is in place of Christ or looks like Christ.

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

We are sons of God or of Satan according to whether we conform to goodness or to evil.

He who fears God will pay careful attention to his soul and will free himself from communion with evil.
