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

Prayer offered up at night possesses a great power, more so than the prayer of the day-time. Therefore all the righteous prayed during the night, while combating the heaviness of the body and the sweetness of sleep and repelling bodily nature.

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

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.

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

Any man who thinks that he can solve his own problems is like a bird which intends to fly without wings.
