Try to see your mistakes positively, even when someone occasionally lashes out at you. It's easy to let go of external things, but it's harder to let go of yourself, a certain infatuation with yourself, and to accept your poverty. For God, our sinfulness is no obstacle. His mercy is omnipotent. It continuously fills the gap between Him and us. The greater our sinfulness, the greater the possibilities for His omnipotent mercy.
(P. Vladimír Koudelka OP /1919–2003/, correspondence, letter from September 26, 1993)
