Spiritual Gain


Saint Francis said to the Friars, "For if I was happy when they praised and honoured me in their devotion - which may well be a danger to my soul - I ought to rejoice and be far happier at the benefit and health brought to my soul when they abuse me, for this is a pure spiritual gain."

Saint Francis of Assisi
Mirror of Perfection - 65
