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

When despondency seizes us, let us not give in to it. Rather, fortified and protected by the light of faith, let us with great courage say to the spirit of evil: 'What are you to us, you who are cut off from God, a fugitive for Heaven, and a slave of evil? You dare not do anything to us: Christ, the Son of God, has dominion over us and over all. Leave us, you thing of bane. We are made steadfast by the uprightness of His Cross. Serpent, we trample on your head.'

According to the degree to which the intellect is stripped of the passions, the Holy Spirit initiates the intellect into the mysteries of the age to be.

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

The intellect becomes a stranger to the things of this world when its attachment to the senses has been completely sundered.
