未经雕琢的木头没法想到会成为塑像杰作，雕塑家却胸有成竹。同样，大多数人对基督信仰生活一窍不通，并不明白天主能塑造他们成圣，直至自己全然委顺于全能艺术大师之手。

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.
