“You wish to know why it is I whom men follow? It is because the eyes of the Most  High have willed it so. He continually watches the good and the wicked, and as  his most holy eyes have not found among sinners any smaller man, nor any more  insufficient and sinful, therefore he has chosen me to accomplish the marvelous  work which God has undertaken.
God chose me because he could find none more worthless, and he wished to  confound the nobility and grandeur, the strength, the beauty and the learning of  this world.”
~ St. Francis of Assisi
