“Give the body its natural need from the material, and nothing more. If the body began to lust for the material and love it in a way that will get it out of the spiritual range, then the spiritual person will discipline their body and bring it into subjection. Which means to make oneself a slave for the spirit and not to be separated from it in conducting itself.” – The Thrice Blessed Pope Shenouda III #crucifytheflesh #lent #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
