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

During a time of disturbance and warfare of thoughts, one should lessen a little even the ordinary quantity of food and drink.

A wise elder gives the following advice to monks and youth alike: 'Avoid eating foods which are to your liking, but, preferably, eat the simplest foods, and be thankful to God, Who also sends you these.'

‘Wine makes glad the heart of man' (Ps. 104:15). But you who have professed sorrow and grief should turn away from such gladness and rejoice in spiritual gifts. If you rejoice in wine, you will live with shameful thoughts and distress will overwhelm you.

Strive to walk worthily of the vocation to which you were called.
