>From Ignatius' description of the Jesuit:
"The command of Christ, that we should love one another
as he has loved us, is more than a general norm of total benevolence;
it is a particular mission: as he cared--out of his weakness--for our
weakness, and so became our Eucharist. For us to refuse this support
to one another, no matter how religious our articulated standard, is to
deceive ourselves almost irremediably and to limit the mercy and
understanding of God that should have come through our life."
and
"To live this way is to live the paschal mystery of Christ in weakness
and in love. We have made a costly choice deciding to become
priests, and we should not disguise that choice. Neither should we
disguise the love that we are about nor the sense of personal
weakness as we confront those lives. God will grace us in the
priesthood, in the ministry that lies before us: "He is not weak in
dealing with you, but powerful in you. For he was crucified in
weakness; but lives by the power of God" (2 Corinthians 13:3-4)."

and II Corinthians 1-4
[1] This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or
three witnesses shall every word be established.
[2] I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second
time;
and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and
to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:
[3] Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not
weak, but is mighty in you
[4] For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power
of God. For we also are weak
in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.
