WEAKNESS

Strange how being weak can be looked on as a certain failure. Perhaps this is because we don't like to be weak, maybe even despise weakness.
Such a shame if this is the case, because the greatest sign of weakness is the Cross.
Christ was an utter failure in the eyes of the world as He hung on the Cross.

He was stripped of everything, except his Love and Compassion for each one of us.
This is a great example of the power of weakness.
It is our inner strength that matters, not the exterior that tries to fit into an imperfect world.
We are created for greatness and strangely enough, it is in being weak that we conquer our fallen nature / we conquer the world. 
St. Paul knew this so well when he discovered...
            'In my weakness, I find my strength.'
