Beautiful Frailty - Missoula, Montana

"He did not want to be whitewashed or excused....Whitewash brought no comfort.

The real comfort was to have one's sins and weaknesses not explained away but understood and shared.

...It struck him that it can be as much by our weakness as by our virtue that we can serve each other."

-from The Rosemary Tree by Elizabeth Goudge (1900-1984), page 337
