Thoughts

Innalzarsi nella santità! E allora innalzarsi nella santità non vuol dire abbassare gli altri, vuol dire elevarci noi a Dio nell’umiltà e nella fede e nell’amore. Abbassare gli altri per elevarci a noi, in fondo è il dominio dell’egoismo, è l’invidia portata al sommo e anzi alle più deleterie conseguenze (APD56, 291).

¡Alzarse en santidad! Y alzarse en santidad no significa rebajar a los demás, significa elevarnos nosotros a Dios en humildad, fe y amor. Rebajar a los demás para elevarnos nosotros es en el fondo dominio del egoísmo, es envidia llevada al máximo y hasta a las consecuencias más deletéreas (APD56, 291).

Grow in holiness! And so growing in holiness does not mean looking down on others, it means elevating ourselves to God in humility and faith and love. Looking down on others in order to elevate us to ourselves is basically the domain of selfishness, it is envy taken to the heights and indeed to the most deleterious consequences (APD56, 291).
