They that are Christ's have crucified their flesh with the vices and concupiscences (Gal. v. 24).
Jesus said to His disciples: If any man will come after Me let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me (Matt. xxiv).
Thirteenth Day
Learn of Me, for I am meek and humble of Heart; and you shall find rest for your souls (Matt, xi. 29).
My son, do thy works in meekness, and thou shalt be beloved above the glory of men. The greater thou art, the more humble thyself in all things, and thou shalt find grace before God: for great is the power of God alone, and He is honored by the humble (Ecclus. iii. 19-21).
Jesus said: You know that the princes of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that are the greater exercise power upon them. It shall not be so among you; but whosoever will be the greater among you, let him be your minister: And he that will be first among you shall be your servant. Even as the Son of man is not come to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a redemption for many (Matt. XX. 25-28).
You call me Master and Lord; and you say well, for so I am. If, then, I being your Lord and Master have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that as I have done, so you do also (John xiii. 13-15).
Fourteenth Day
THE Lord will reward me according to my justice, and will repay me according to the cleanness of my hands (Ps. xvii. 21).
