From Joan Chittister’s " Fire in the Ashes":
Once upon a time, the story goes, Abba Lot went to see Abba Joseph.
He said, “Abba, as much as I am able, I practice a small rule, all the little fasts, some prayer and meditation, and remain quiet. What else should I do? "
To which the old monastic stood up and
stretched his hands toward heaven, and his fingers became like ten torches of flame. And
he said,
“Why not be completely turned into fire?”
