没有一個聖人會輕視謙遜的美德。没有一個聖人會在這一點犯錯:「我在這方面取得了成功,我在那方面做得很好,我在這方面有能力。」許多人因工作的外在價值而失去功勞。(RSP, p. 151)
No saint had neglected the virtue of humility. No saint had been wrong on this essential point. A great number of souls lose merit because they consider the external value of the work. «I have succeeded in this, I have accomplished that, I have abilities for this» (RSP, p. 151).
