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

A man is neither saved nor lost by the place he is in, but is saved or lost by his deeds. Neither a holy place nor a holy state is of use to him who does not fulfill the commandments of the Lord.

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

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

It is not always possible to fulfill the usual rules; one must take circumstances into account and try to fulfill what they make possible, as far as one can. The demons themselves are not unmindful of this law. So, being in constant enmity with us, they prevent us from doing what is possible and urge us to do what is impossible.

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.

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