"And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, `Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.' Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance."

Luke 15:5-7

"I understood that to become a saint one had to suffer much, seek out always the most perfect thing to do, and forget self."

- St. Therese of Lisieux
