In his sermon «St Paul's Gift of Sympathy», 13 Newman describes the Apostle's love for Christians and stresses that Paul is so full of love for others that «in the tenor of his daily thoughts, he almost loses sight of his gifts and privileges, his station and dignity, except he is called by duty to remember them, and he is to himself
merely a frail man speaking to frail men, and he is tender towards the
weak from a
sense of his own weakness».14 Paul knows that not only do others need God's mercy, but above all others he himself has need of it.
