As I wrote to you last time, accept your imperfection and weakness and allow others to be imperfect as well. God's strength works only in human weakness. If people could become perfect by their own means, Jesus would not have had to come into the world; they would not need a Savior and Redeemer. Christ is our way to the Father and the Father's way to us; He is the light on our path to God. We must always turn to the source and drink from it.
(Fr. Vladimír Koudelka OP /1919–2003/, correspondence, letter from February 21, 2002)
