No one should flatter himself for doing anything a sinner can also do. A sinner can fast, pray, weep and mortify his flesh. This one thing he cannot do: be faithful to his Lord. Therefore we should glory in this: if we give back to the Lord the glory that is his, if we serve him faithfully and ascribe to him whatever he gives to us.– St. Francis of Assisi in Bonaventure, The Life of St. Francis 6.3
Being faithful to his commands should be what we do everyday, especially priests.
