Food Inexhaustible

“How many a time I fell down upon the earth, as though dead. How many a time in immeasurable struggle I dwelt with various misfortunes, woes and temptations. But from that time until the present day the power of God in unknown and manifold ways has watched over my sinful soul and humble body. I was fed and covered by the utterance of God, comprising all, since it is not by bread alone that man doth live, but by every utterance of God, and not having the protection of rocks to clothe themself in, if they do put off from themselves the garb of sin. When I remembered, from what evil and from what sins the Lord delivered me, I found within this to be food inexhaustible."
Saint Mary of Egypt
