"A disciple once came to Abba Joseph saying, 'Father, according as I am able, I keep my little rule, my little fast, and my little prayer. And according as I am able I strive to cleanse my mind of all evil thoughts and my heart of all evil intents. Now, what more should I do?' Abba Joseph rose up and stretched out his hands to heaven, and his fingers became like ten lamps of fire. He answered, 'Why not be totally changed into fire?'" (emphasis mine)
Taken from 'Prayer' by Richard Foster.
I'd take that, wouldn't you? Have a good weekend. x
