orsake the World
If you wish devotion to be born in your heart, the love of God to grow, together with the desire for Divine things, cleanse your soul from every desire and self-seeking so that nothing of the kind remains with you. Live in this world as if God and your soul only were in it; that your heart may be a captive to no earthly thing.
-St. John of the Cross.
