To serve God…
Practice spiritual reading and prayer; go to confession and Holy Communion; and let the one object of your life be to serve God and to bear with things contrary to your will.

— Saint John of Avila (1500 – 1569)
The Holy Scriptures…

Rid yourself of…
Rid yourself of anything that is not directed toward God.
