Tuesday After Lent 1
Start by reading Psalm 51 reflectively. After a period of silence, read over the quote for the day. Consider within yourself what it might mean…
‘There was an anchorite who was able to banish the demons; and he asked them, "What makes you go away?" Is it fasting? They replied, "We do not eat or drink." "Is it vigils?" they replied, 'We do not sleep." "Is it separation from the world? "We live in the deserts." "What power sends you away then?" They said, "Nothing can overcome us, but only humility." "Do you see how humility is victorious over the demons (The Sayings of the Desert Fathers Theta.6)?"‘
