The Praise Due to God
"Because he suffered so much for us and gave us such gifts and will continue to bestow them in time to come, let every creature that is in heaven and on earth and in the sea and in the depths of the abyss (cf. Rv 5:13) render praise to God, and glory and honor and blessing, because he is our virtue and our strength; he who alone is good, who alone is Most High, alone almighty, wondrous, glorious who alone is holy, worthy of praise, blessed forever and ever. Amen." --St. Francis, Letter to All the Faithful, Second Version
God is our virtue and strength. When we are feeling a failure we must remember that it is God in us who enables us to try again. With Him, we are never a failure.
