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

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

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

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

Great Lent - all of its services are united by the idea of preparing for Holy Pascha, to meet the Risen Christ with a clean heart.

As water standing behind an earth dam, and finding an aperture, washes it wider and wider and filters through it, if we do not strengthen the dam, or strengthen it insufficiently, at last, with growing weakness on our part and with repeated efforts, the water gets through with greater and greater force, so that at last it becomes very difficult, and even impossible to stop it; so also with malice hidden in the heart of man: if we let it pierce through once, twice, and thrice, it will pour out more and more powerfully, & may at last break through and overflow your dam.

Paschal joy is a foretaste of eternal joy in the approaching kingdom of 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.

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