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

Every man who loves purity and chastity becomes the temple of God.

A holy man told us one day, that the source of all heresies and schisms in the church was, loving God too little, and ourselves too much.

Only with the greatest struggle and sacrifice is the chaff of heresy separated from the wheat of Orthodox truth.

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.

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

Beware of reading the doctrines of heretics for they, more than anything else, can equip the spirit of blasphemy against you.

Offer to the Lord the weakness of your nature, fully acknowledging your own powerlessness, and imperceptibly you will receive the gift of chastity.

Guard yourselves from soul-destroying heresy, communion with which is alienation from Christ.

Not he is chaste in whom shameful thoughts stop in time of struggle, work and endeavor, but he who by the trueness of his heart makes chaste the vision of his mind not letting it stretch out towards unseemly thoughts.
