Since Christ has said: " If anyone wishes to come after me, let
him deny himself, and take up his cross daily "; and since St.
Paul in the same spirit has added: "If you live according to the
flesh you will die, but if by the spirit you put to death the deeds
of the flesh, you will live, " everyone shall devote himself to
a continual denial of his own will and judgement, also the
mortification of all his senses.' (CR II, 8)
