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

Feeding the hungry is a greater work than raising the dead.

Those who yield themselves to idleness and apathy, even though they may be spiritual and holy, hurl themselves into unnatural subjection to passions.

But if you give a strong body rest and ease and idleness, all the passions dwelling in the soul are intensified. Then, even if the soul has a great desire for good, even the very thought of the good that is desired will be taken from you.

If you give gladly, even if you give only a little, it is a big gift. If you give unwillingly, even if you give a big gift, you turn it into a small one.

It is a sin to spend time idly.

One who lives in idleness sins continually.

Ease and idleness are the destruction of the soul and they can injure her more than the demons.
