Keep before your eyes the benefits received from your birth until now, be they bodily or spiritual; go over them and meditate on them, according to what is written: “Forget not all his benefits,” in order that they may bring you to love God quickly and easily…in order that your heart, at the remembrance of these benefits and even more so spurred on from on high, might spontaneously be wounded with love and desire.
~St Mark the Ascetic
