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

Control your stomach, sleep, anger, and tongue, and you will not 'dash your foot against a stone.'

The soul's health consists in dispassion and spiritual knowledge; no slave to sensual pleasure can attain it.

Concern for one's soul means hardship and humility, for through these God forgives us all our sins.

Love and self-control purify the soul.

Grace is given freely by divine mercy but to keep it we must use every effort.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

If you are not willing to repent through freely choosing to suffer, unsought sufferings will providentially be imposed on you.

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.

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

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

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