“lucky the man who longs for God as a lover longs for his beloved”
WHAT good does this ascetic way do for the world?
“The monk purifies himself, but he also purifies his surroundings!
Because when God’s grace ‘enters’ and ‘settles’ in a person, when it fills a man’s heart with the love of Christ, this love brims over and onto others.
With this holy ascesis, an ascetic changes his surroundings and builds around himself a whole world with love, and with the sanctification which he acquires through this ascesis, he spreads out over the whole world!
That is something which we need in today’s world, and always, so that the whole world will not fall into sin and idolatry!
That is, worship of their passions, and of material things generally, particularly of corruption and of an obsession with the flesh.
There is an immediate spiritual need, that the world should worship the living God Who brings the Gospel to the world, just as he brought the Gospel to the prophet Elijah and to John the Baptist.
Which is to say, that is how a man can sanctify“!
