Ardent, daring self-examination can help keep us mindful and protect us from dangerous denial. We can also take heart that we yearn for the good, look for it. The author's own priestly tenderness comes through, that we want goodness, want to build up, not to destroy. Her amazement at the pursuit of goodness is wonderfully contagious.
