We all need mirrors — or someone to tell us where the flaw is in our clothing. That gives us social confidence. Who has never rushed out the door wearing their shirt inside out? Bringing this into the moral realm: we are not capable, on our own, of knowing where we truly stand. We need to see the reflection. And that reflection can be a person or Sacred Scripture — that which shows us what we really are. Before the moral mirror, we can have three attitudes: the first is the urge to break it, because it shows me exactly where I stand. The second is to despise it and say that I am fine just the way I am. The third — and the wisest — is to look seriously at where I am, find the courage to face what I see, and make the necessary corrections.
