We are then righteous when we confess that we are sinners, and our
righteousness depends not upon our own merits, but on the mercy of God, as the
Holy Scripture says, "The righteous man accuses himself when he begins to
speak," and elsewhere, "Tell your sins that you may be
justified." Romans 11:32 "God has shut up all under sin, that He may
have mercy upon all." And the highest righteousness of man is
this—whatever virtue he may be able to acquire, not to think it his own, but
the gift of God.
St. Jerome
