This is true, we need to deny ourselves before taking up our cross. And this chapter explains what that meens. This has helped me understand what it meens to deny oneself.

Would you kindly post a few quotes from the book, so that those of us who haven't obtained a copy will benefit. In other words, please share the frutis of your contemplation to enlighten the rest of us.

Thanks,
Maria

Angel: ... Man renounces himself when he becomes a different person through repentance. ... For instance, if one was proud and subsequently changed, and came to love humility, then he has renounced himself. If a sensual man turns to a life of abstinence, he has denied himself. ...

Thank you Maria for your suggestion. I have gone through and added some quotes from most of the chapters and will include quotes in the rest.
