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

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

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

Eve is the first to teach us that sight, taste and the other senses, when used without moderation, distract the heart from its remembrance of God.

Have great concern for these portals the eyes. Most robbers enter through these portals to overthrow the castle of the soul. Had the forefathers guarded their eyes, they would not have been exiled far from God and Paradise. 'The woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good...' (Gn 3:6).

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