Pope Shenouda III
If you have a spiritual agenda you will love seclusion.
If you benefit by your seclusion in a spiritual way, you will pursue it and feel that it is a blessing from God.
Therefore, set a schedule, devote yourself to implement it. Try to free yourself during this period from your friends and recreations, for God will become your true friend in this period, and train yourself to do without useless talk and idle chatter. You will then be able to seclude yourself and labour with God.
