September 24

In as much as our body is susceptible to various hurts, some attacking from without and some from within by reason of the food we eat, and since the body suffers affliction from both excess and deficiency, the medical art has been vouchsafed us by God, who directs our whole life, as a model for the cure of the soul, to guide us in the removal of what is superfluous and in the addition of what is lacking.

Just as in those days the Lord sometimes made clay, and anointed, and bade wash in Siloe, and on other occasions was content with the mere command:  “I will, be thou made clean,” (John 9: 6-7), whereas He left some to struggle against their afflictions, rendering them more worthy of reward by trial, so it also is with us.  He sometimes cures us secretly and without visible means when He judges this mode of treatment beneficial to our souls; and again He wills that we use material remedies for our ills, either to instill in us by the prolonged nature of the cure an abiding remembrance of the favor received, or, as I have said, to provide an example for the proper cure of the soul.
(Long Rule 55, pg. 61)

September 28

As in the case of the flesh it is essential to eliminate foreign elements and add whatever is wanting, so also, where the soul is concerned, it behooves us to rid ourselves of that which is alien to it and take unto ourselves that which is in accordance with nature; for “God made man right.” (Eccle 7:30) and He created us for good works that we might walk in them.
(Long Rule 55, pg. 61)

September 29

Moreover, as in using the medical art we submit to cutting, burning, and the taking of bitter medicines for the cure of the body, so, also, in caring for our souls we must heal them by accepting the cut of the reproachful word and the bitter medicine of penalties.
(Long Rule 55, pg. 61)

September 30

The fact, also, that chronic illnesses persist over a long period and despite varied and painful remedies is a sign that we should amend the sins of the soul by assiduous prayer, prolonged penance, and the severe disciplinary treatment which reason may advise as adequate for the cure.
