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

It is a sin to spend time idly.

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

Control the tongue, so that it will not utter empty words. Whoever preserves his tongue, preserves his soul from grief.

One who lives in idleness sins continually.

True escape from the world is for a person to know how to control his tongue, wherever he might be.

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

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.

Nothing causes a man to sin so often as his tongue.
