"Being stained is the ungodly union between Satan and 'the lust of the flesh,' 'the lust of the eyes,' and the 'pride of life' (1 Jn. 2:1). These three bonds were united and shattered by Christ during His fast on the Mount of Temptation. He gave us the shattered bonds as an inheritance to live out and carry into effect by fasting in the fullness of the Holy Spirit and in the sacrament of baptism."
- Matthew the Poor in The Communion of Love, p. 111.
