Be Somebody before You Can be Nobody!
(originally in English)
An archbishop was visiting a church and suddenly he felt
moved to kneel in front of the Cross and say, "Oh God,
have pity on me. I am really no one. Please, have pity
on me." And then the bishop, seeing the archbishop
doing that, knelt down next to him and said, "Oh God,
have mercy on me. I am nobody. Have mercy on me.
I am no one." And then the minister of the church,
seeing the archbishop and the bishop doing that, knelt
next to them and said, "Oh God, have mercy on me.
I am nobody. I am no one." And there was a janitor
nearby sweeping the floor, and seeing what they were
all doing, he also knelt in front of the Cross next to
them and said, "Oh God, have mercy on me. I am no
one. I am humble; I am no one." And the archbishop
looked at him and said, "Look at who's saying he's a
nobody here!" How humble, indeed!
没资格当无名小卒？
一位大主教到教堂视察，突然他心有所感，在十字架
前跪下来说：「上帝啊，请怜悯我，我是无名小卒，
请可怜我。」主教看到这一幕，也跪在他旁边说：
「上帝啊，请怜悯我，我是无名小卒，请可怜我，
我是无名小卒。」教堂的教士看见大主教和主教的
举动之后，也跪在他们身旁说：「上帝啊，请悲悯我，
我是无名小卒、我是无名小卒！」旁边一位正在扫地
的工友看见了，也跪在他们身旁说：「上帝啊，请
悲悯我，我是无名小卒，我是卑微的无名小卒！」
这时大主教看着工友说： 「你们看！他也敢在这里
说自己是无名小卒！」--这位大主教真的是好「谦卑」啊！
