To Those Who Praise Themselves



Brother Francis would often say to his brothers: "No one should flatter himself with evil praise over what a sinner can do. A sinner," he said, "can fast, pray, weep, mortify his flesh. This, however, he cannot do, namely, be faithful to his Lord."

Saint Francis of Assisi
Celano, Second Life
Chapter XCVII
