How hard we try to be strong! How we brush our weakness under the carpet, and try to pretend it doesn't exist! The show of competence we increasingly portray in our society, the show of invulnerability, a kind of act. (Note that the word hypocrisy comes from the Greek word meaning 'actor.')
Yet God said to St Paul, when he asked Him to remove his affliction, that 'thorn in the flesh' that remains unspecified, (2 Corinthians 12) “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.”
