2 Thessalonians
• “Abba Lot went to see Abba
Joseph and said to him, 'Abba
as far as I can I say my little
office, I fast a little, I pray and
meditate, I live in peace, and,
as far as I can, I purify my
thoughts. What else can I do?'
• Then the old man stood up
and stretched his hands
towards heaven. His fingers
became like ten lamps of fire
and he said to him, 'If you
will, you can become all
flame.’”
