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

Those who attend the divine service of the Orthodox Church must bear in mind that its purpose is to prepare us for the joyful service of God in heaven; that in serving God with the body, it is still more necessary to serve God with the soul and a pure heart; that in hearing divine service they must learn to serve God as those saints served him, whose lives, and works of faith, hope and love, we hear of during the service; that God should, above all, be served in deed and truth, and not only by words and the tongue.

Just as a moth devours clothing and a worm devours wood, so dejection devours a man’s soul.

Control the tongue, so that it will not utter empty words. Whoever preserves his tongue, preserves his soul from grief.

True escape from the world is for a person to know how to control his tongue, wherever he might be.

Set your sight on heaven and order every step of your life so that it will be a step in that direction. It seems to me that it is all so simple, and yet so all-embracing.

Nothing causes a man to sin so often as his tongue.
