Quotes

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

The vain desires of this world separate us from our homeland; love of them and habit clothe our soul as if in a hideous garment. We, traveling on the journey of this life and calling on God to help us, ought to be divesting ourselves of this hideous garment and clothing ourselves in new desires, in a new love of the age to come, and thereby to receive knowledge of how near or how far we are from our heavenly homeland.

Vanity is eliminated by acting secretly, and pride by ascribing to God all that is well done.

Control your appetites before they control you.

Self-control and strenuous effort curb desire; stillness and intense longing for God wither it.

The beginning of evil is heedlessness.

Let us look after those who precede us into the other world, and do for them all that we can, remembering that Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

Fear of the Lord conquers desire, and distress that accords with God's will repulses sensual pleasure.
