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

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

Self-knowledge is a true idea of one's spiritual growth, and an unbroken remembrance of one's slightest sins.

Beware of reading the doctrines of heretics for they, more than anything else, can equip the spirit of blasphemy against you.

One who is capable of seeing himself is better than one who has been made worthy to see angels.

Only with the greatest struggle and sacrifice is the chaff of heresy separated from the wheat of Orthodox truth.

According to the teachings of the Holy Fathers, in order to destroy insensibility man needs a constant, patient, uninterrupted activity against insensibility; he needs a constant, pious, and attentive life.

A holy man told us one day, that the source of all heresies and schisms in the church was, loving God too little, and ourselves too much.

Guard yourselves from soul-destroying heresy, communion with which is alienation from Christ.
