Not all of us are saints, but we are all sinners who can turn to God's mercy and be saved. I will say that Saint Colette is honored today and as reluctant saints go she also falls into the wandering path camp as well. What about ourselves keeps us from becoming saints? What does God have to do to get our attention? Our imperfections, compared with His goodness, are what a piece of tow is to the furnace. When therefore we have fallen let us humble ourselves sorrowfully in His presence and then with an act of confidence let us throw ourselves into the of His goodness where every failing will be cancelled and doubt will be turned into love.
-- Quoted in The Life of the Blessed Paul of the Cross
