Rendering Glory To Our God

Vineyards outside of Assisi

We shouldn'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 our Lord, serving him faithfully, and acknowledging as his whatever he gives us.

Saint Francis of Assisi
Celano, Second Life
CHAPTER XCVII
