St. Francis said, 'The friars under obedience are much edified when their Ministers and preachers gladly devote their time to prayer, and apply themselves to humble and undistinguished tasks. Unless they do this they cannot admonish other friars without embarrassment, injustice, and self-condemnation; for if we follow Christ's example, we must act rather than teach, and our acting and teaching must go together.'
Saint Francis of Assisi
Mirror of Perfection - 73
These words really hit home, especially since I teach for a living.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the wise words you posted on my blog. They really touched me. As you can see I have not posted anything in a while and your words have sparked something inside. I have actually been to a conference at Steubenville, many years ago. I can't remember the building but am intrigued enough to find out what it looks like. Maybe you will be seeing an other painting soon. Pace Bene!
Thank you for those kind words.
