“Mortification in eating is the alphabet of a spiritual life; and they who do not know how to subdue their gluttony will find it no easy matter to triumph over other vices which are much more difficult to conquer.”
– St. Vincent de Paul

– Father, I am ashamed to admit how often I show no restraint when it comes to wanting the best in food and drink. Teach me to discipline myself, taking only what I really need.
