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

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

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

One who is capable of seeing himself is better than one who has been made worthy to see angels.

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

Nothing is better than to realize one's weakness and ignorance, and nothing is worse than not to be aware of them.

Self-knowledge is a true idea of one's spiritual growth, and an unbroken remembrance of one's slightest sins.

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.
