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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
