「真誠」是認識自己原本的樣貌,不過分譴責,因為天生的缺陷和非故意的不完美總會發生;但我們也不要替個人的疏失找藉口。讓我們對自己誠實,認識我們在天主面前的樣子。(APD56, 44)
Sincerity is recognizing ourselves as we are, without condemning more than what is condemnable because involuntary defects and imperfections always happen; but also without excusing what is truly negligence… Let us be honest with ourselves, let us recognize how we stand before God (APD56, 44).
