The Gift of Weakness and The Need for Practice
Editor's note: With inimitable wisdom and grace, Fenélon, the 17th century French archbishop and author, writes to a spiritual son who has fallen ill. His advice? Allow physical weakness to bring awareness of spiritual weakness, an awareness that will result in being strengthened by God. He also discourages getting puffed up with spiritual knowledge. Learn, yes, but more importantly put the learning into practice.
