Brother Body
"In eating and drinking, in sleeping and satisfying the other necessities of the body, you should take the measure of your own physical tolerance, so that Brother Body doesn't rebel." --St. Francis, Mirror of Perfection, 97
Francis was aware that our bodies have limitations and makes allowances for it. We should, too. Helping others can lead to our own burnout if we aren't careful.
