Silent Servants...

Silent Servants...

... of the Used, Abused, and Utterly Screwed Up.

A Secular Franciscan looks at the world...
with a more jaundiced eye than ever...
and lots of ellipses for you to fill in the missing text...

"Vain is the life of that man who puts his trust in men or in any created Thing. Be not ashamed to be the servant of others for the love of Jesus Christ, and to be reckoned poor in this life. Rest not upon yourself, but build your hope in God. Do what lie in your power, and God will help your good intent. Trust not in your learning, nor in the cleverness of any that lives, but rather trust in the favour of God, who resists the proud and gives grace to the humble." - Thomas A Kempis The Imitation of Christ
