Oil Taken from the Lamp
Luke 4:2-4
Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungry.…


Moreover, take away oil from the lamp, and the flame will go out by little and little; and surely hunger and thirst, and afflicting the body, joined with prayer and repentance, shall obtain this mercy, that the violence of voluptuousness and luxury shall be abated in our sinful flesh.

(Bishop Hacker.)
