"The meaning of self-denial is not infliction of personal torment and penance, but it is simply the giving up the very principle of living for ourselves.  It is completely changing the direction of our being and will so that no longer in any sense do we act with reference to how anything will effect us, but our one thought is how it will effect God or others."
