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

It is pointless for someone to say that he has faith in God if he does not have works which go with faith. What benefit were their lamps to the foolish virgins who had no oil (Matt. 25: 1-13), namely, deeds of love and compassion?

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

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

True joy is the joy of consolation, the joy that wells up in the knowledge of one's own weakness and the Lord's mercy, and that does not need the bared teeth of laughter to express itself.

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

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.
