I'm a Saint in Prayer, but but Be Ruthless With My Environment

Prayer is one of the ways in which our prayer can be converted into real, real life stuff. Fasting and almsgiving are ways we can take that prayer that is kind of like, abstract and ethereal, or just maybe purely spiritual, and make it really practical. Be patient with yourself, but ruthless with your environment. If there are things incompatible with god's will in my life, they have to go.
