未經雕琢的木頭沒法想到會成為塑像傑作，雕塑家卻胸有成竹。同樣，大多數人對基督信仰生活一竅不通，並不明白天主能塑造他們成聖，直至自己全然委順於全能藝術大師之手。

A rough and unshapen log has no idea that it can be made into a statue that will be considered a masterpiece, but the carver sees what can be done with it. So many seem to know scarcely anything of the Christian life and do not understand that God can mould them into saints, until they put themselves into the hands of that almighty Artisan.
