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

Control the tongue, so that it will not utter empty words. Whoever preserves his tongue, preserves his soul from grief.

And so the holy apostle Paul was not angry when the world called him a ‘fool for Christ’, but, in defiance of the world, accepted the name. It is of no concern, either, to us, how the world regards and calls us. It is, though, of the greatest concern to us how the angels in heaven will regard us and call us when we meet with them after death. That is of fateful importance, and all else is meaningless.

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

We are either fools to the world because of Christ or fools to Christ because of the world.

True escape from the world is for a person to know how to control his tongue, wherever he might be.
