Unfortunately, however, as the years pass, we convince ourselves that we have many merits! (VMC 383).

Although apparently taken out of context, this brusque Alberionian comment is still relevant. Celebrating anniversaries we can feel very self-satisfied—fatal mistake. Our judgment is almost always too lenient for sin and too generous for our good work. “When you have done all you should do, say, ‘We are useless servants.’”.
