Quotes

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

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

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

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

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

Do not neglect the practice of the virtues; if you do, your spiritual knowledge will decrease, and when famine occurs you will go down into Egypt (Genesis 41:57, 46:6).

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