"In a word, let us try to make our meals be preparation for the divine meal of the most holy Eucharist.
...Do not eat more food than you need, and try to have moderation in all things. Most of all, determine in your heart to be disposed toward less rather than more at meals. I do not mean, however, that you should leave the table fasting. No, that is not what I mean. Let everything be done prudently, which is the rule for all human actions.
Do not go to bed without having first examined your conscience about what happened during the day and directing all your thoughts to God. Then offer and consecrate yourself and all Christians to him-especially me, a lowly brother who does the same for you.
In addition, offer your sleep to the glory of God's divine majesty, and do not forget the guardian angel who is always with you and never leaves you, no matter what wrong thing you might do."  -St. Pio of Pietrelcina
