What we can and what we want to do. The most honest thing is for us to tell ourselves what we don\u2019t want, rather than making excuses about our incapacity. God\u2019s not going to ask us to do anything impossible. If that were the case, there\u2019d be no joy. The spiritual struggle of the saints, as an expression of love for God, was the basis of their delight. So any ascesis we engage in (prayer, fasting, prostrations, study, observance of Christ\u2019s commandments), can bring great joy, powerful boldness and familiarity with God, so long as we do it with humility.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"2ta0g\" data-offset-key=\"bm5nu-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"bm5nu-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"bm5nu-0-0\">(Fr.
