"Turn this body in which you are clothed into a censer in which you burn all your evil thoughts and musings. Raise them before the Lord that he might raise your hearts to him. Ask him with all the might you possess in your minds to bring down his immaterial fire from on high to consume all that is found i that censer and purify it...You will then see [the new] man coming out as water from the divine font..."
--St Antony the Great, Letters 6.8, in "The Letters," Arabic version
