We shoudln't flatter ourselves and boast about doing what any sinner can do. A sinner can fast, pray, weep, mortify the flesh. But this a sinner cannot do: Remain faithful to the Lord. Therefore, this is what we should glory in: Rendering glory to the Lord, serving him faithfully, and acknowledging as his whatever he gives us.
Saint Francis of Assisi
Celano, Secon Life - 134
