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

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

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

We must strive after a quiet mind.

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

Grow calm, grow quiet after harmful noise... you will experience a certain movement towards eternity; gradually, like a still, small voice, a thought will come to you as to who you are and what is your end and purpose... this is a sign of the approach of the word of God in your soul.

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

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