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

The most important thing during illness is to offer to God patience and thanksgiving for His merciful visitations. Sickness purifies sins and gives one time to meditate on the past.

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

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.

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

Strive to walk worthily of the vocation to which you were called.
