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

All the hidden works of man will be manifested one day. No human act can be concealed.

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

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.

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

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.

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

Control your appetites before they control you.
