From the Lives of the Desert Fathers:
Abbot Lot came to Abbot Joseph and said, “Father, according to my capacity I keep
my little rule and my little fast, my prayer, my meditation, my contemplative
silence; and according as I am able I cleanse my heart of evil thoughts. Now what
more should I do?’
The elder stood up in reply. He stretched out his hand to heaven and his fingers
became fire ten lamps of fire. He said: “This: become totally changed into fire.”
