Title: Quote for the Day: God before the table Post by: Shin on October 13, 2011, 03:00:59 PM 'When at table I resolve to place myself in the presence of God as far as I can, to remain recollected and to pass up my favorite dishes so as to practice a hidden form of mortification. I resolve not to eat between meals unless ordered to do so under obedience.
