The Humility of God
"Let humanity kneel in fear, let the whole universe tremble, and let heaven rejoice when Christ the Son of the Living God is on the altar in the hands of the priest!
O wonderful ascent, O stupendous descent! O sublime humility! O humble sublimity, that the Lord of the Universe, God and Son of God, should so humbly hide himself, for our salvation, in what seems to be only a small piece of bread! Look, then, upon the humility of God! And pour out your hearts before him. Humble yourselves that he might exalt you. Hold back nothing of yourselves for yourselves, that he may receive your all who gave his all to you." -- St. Francis, Letter to the Whole Order
As we close out this year Another Perfect Day 365 will lie fallow in 2017 as I wait for God's leading on how best to use this platform to glorify Him. May the words of St. Francis stay with you: Humble yourselves that he might exalt you. Hold back nothing of yourselves for yourselves, that he may receive your all who gave his all to you.

Thank you for the in depth study of St Francis. Most of it was quite eye opening. Not being Roman Catholic, I find his service to our Lord extraordinary! ♥
