Quotes

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

Blessed are they who exercise restraint, for the joys of paradise await them.

Compunction comes when you consider how much you have grieved God Who is so good, so sweet, so merciful, so kind, and entirely full of love; Who was crucified and suffered everything for us. When you meditate on these things and other things the Lord has suffered, they bring compunction.

The way to attain compunction is an attentive life. ‘The beginning of repentance comes from the fear of God and attention,’ as the holy martyr Boniface says.

The self-indulgent are distressed by criticism and hardship; those who love God by praise and luxury.

'The ancient Fathers,' a certain elder said, 'when their spiritual work became known to others, saw this not as a virtue, but as a sin.'
