The whole life of Jesus was a rising to the occasion. What we call the great Resurrection is a crown on his lifetime of resurrections. The wonderful thing about our faults, our weaknesses, is that all of them can eventuate in a resurrection. God’s grace is there to make this possible.

—Mother Mary Francis
