Faith Is Not An Art. Faith Is Not An Achievement. Faith Is Not A Good Work Of Which Some May Boast While Others Can Excuse Themselves With A Shrug Of The Shoulders For Not Being Capable Of It. It Is A Decisive Insight Of Faith Itself That All Of Us Are Incapable Of Faith In Ourselves, Whether We Think Of Its Preparation, Beginning, Continuation, Or Completion.
