"If you feel that you are sinful and weak, you have a special right to Jesus' arms because He is the Good Shepherd who looks for lost sheep, those who are weak and helpless and who cannot keep up with the flock." (The Gift of Faith, Third Edition, pg.83) 
“Dear children! Today again I am calling you to complete conversion, which is difficult for those who have not chosen God. God can give you everything that you seek from Him. But you seek God only when sicknesses, problems and difficulties come to you and you think that God is far from you and is not listening and does not hear your prayers. No, dear children, that is not the truth. When you are far from God, you cannot receive graces because you do not seek them with a firm faith. Day by day, I am praying for you, and I want to draw you ever more near to God, but I cannot if you don't want it. Therefore, dear children put your life in God's hands. I bless you all. Thank you for having responded to my call. ” Medjugorje Message: January 25, 1988 
"The Holy Spirit needs your openness, your internal disposition. He stands at the door and knocks, but He will not enter uninvited. You can, therefore, close yourself to Him or you can, through faith and humility, open the doors of your heart wide to Him." (The Gift of Faith, Third Edition, pg.165

"Actually, you can see almost everything which takes place in confession in Judas' behavior and attitude. There is only one thing, the most important thing, missing. That is faith in Jesus' mercy. That is why Judas' 'confession' is so sad, tragic and ended with despair and suicide." (The Gift of Faith, pg. 87) 
"Give me, O Lord, a steadfast heart which no unworthy thought can drag downwards; an unconquered heart which no tribulation can wear out; an upright heart which no unworthy purpose may tempt aside. Bestow upon me also, O Lord my God, understanding to know you, diligence to seek you, wisdom to find you, and a faithfulness that may finally embrace you; through Jesus Christ, our Lord." (St. Thomas Acquinas) “As Christians, our task is to make daily progress toward God. Our pilgrimage on earth is a school in which God is the only teacher, and it demands good students, not ones who play truant. In this school we learn something every day. We learn something from commandments, something from examples, and something from sacraments. These things are remedies for our wounds and materials for study.” (St. Augustine of Hippo)
