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

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

It is not always possible to fulfill the usual rules; one must take circumstances into account and try to fulfill what they make possible, as far as one can. The demons themselves are not unmindful of this law. So, being in constant enmity with us, they prevent us from doing what is possible and urge us to do what is impossible.

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

'The ancient Fathers,' a certain elder said, 'when their spiritual work became known to others, saw this not as a virtue, but as a sin.'

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

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