1 " Jesus did not tell parables to confirm well-known truths, but rather to shatter well-known truths. "
― John Newton , Reckless Love: The Scandal of Grace in a Performance-Driven World
2 " Francis once said, “I have been in all things unholy. If God can use me, God can use absolutely anyone.” 3 It is easy to assume that Francis had tons of faith, much more than you and me. Francis never saw himself this way, and there were many moments when he felt weak, uncertain, inadequate, and scared. His life teaches me that people who feel spiritually invulnerable and confident cannot repair God’s church. Grace flows to the world only through people who are weak and often uncertain and who cling to Jesus in their experience of decreasing and becoming less. "
