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

We ought not to grieve or become irritated at anything because, by frequent vexation and irritability, we form the morally and physically very injurious habit of irritability, whilst by bearing opposition with equanimity we form the good and useful habit of enduring everything calmly and patiently.

You ask for some way of completely eradicating irritability. The inclination to irritability is given us to use against sin, and we were never meant to use it against our fellow men. When we do, we act contrary to our true nature.

Paschal joy is a foretaste of eternal joy in the approaching kingdom of Christ.

Great Lent - all of its services are united by the idea of preparing for Holy Pascha, to meet the Risen Christ with a clean heart.

Listlessness is an apathy of soul; and a soul becomes apathetic when sick with self-indulgence.
