Bonus quote: 
Above all the grace and the gifts that Christ gives to His beloved is that of overcoming self.

Christ Jesus came to save sinners!

You can depend on this as worthy of full acceptance: that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Of these I myself am the worst. But on that very account I was dealt with mercifully, so that in me, as an extreme case, Jesus Christ might display all his patience, and that I might become an example to those who would later have faith in him and gain everlasting life. To the King of ages, the immortal, the invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever! Amen. - St. Paul's Letter to Timothy

Memorial of St. Therese of Lisieux

I have a lot of distractions during prayer, but as soon as I perceive them I pray for the persons that occupy my imagination and in this way they benefit from my distractions. - St. Therese
