The source of religious preoccupation is in the self, or rather the rejection of the self. Dedication is the obverse side of self-rejection.

This, however, must not be a superstitious observance of hours, by which, as it were, performing a task to God, we think we are discharged as to other hours. It should rather be considered a discipline by which our weakness is exercised and stimulated.
