Francis would often say : "No one should flatter themselves with evil praise over what a sinner can do. A sinner," he said, "can fast, pray, weep, mortify the flesh. This, however, they cannot do, namely, be faithful to the Lord. Therefore in this should we glory, that we give glory to God, that we serve Him faithfully, and we ascribe to Him whatever He has given to us."
