Self-Renunciation
If a man may attain thereunto, to be unto God as his hand is unto man, let him be therewith content, and not seek further....
That we may thus deny ourselves, and forsake and renounce all things for God’s sake, and give up our own wills, and die unto ourselves, and live unto God alone and to his will, may He help us who gave up His will to His heavenly Father,—Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom be blessing for ever and ever. Amen.
