The Daily Prayer
THURSDAY, November 14, 2019
Fifth-century monk Nilus of Ancyra wrote, “We should remain within the limits imposed by our basic needs and strive with all our power not to exceed them. For once we are carried a little beyond these limits in our desire for the pleasures of life, there is then no criterion by which to check our onward movement, since no bounds can be set to that which exceeds the necessary.”
Lord, your refiner’s fire peels away the dross of our self-making. Grant us the discipline and desire to be purified by you. Amen.
