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

A little fire softens a large piece of wax. So, too, a small indignity often softens, sweetens and wipes away suddenly all the fierceness, insensibility & hardness of our heart.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Most of us call ourselves sinners, and perhaps really think it; but it is indignity that tests the heart.
