St. Maximilian Kolbe, Kevin Pawlowski
"The rather widespread notion that the saints were not like us is simply false. They also were subject to temptation, also fell and got up again, felt oppressed by sadness, weakened, and paralyzed by discouragement…They did not rely on themselves but, putting all their trust in God, after every fall, they humbled themselves; they sincerely repented, cleansed their soul in the sacrament of penance, and then set down to work with even greater fervor. In this way, their falls served them as steps toward an even greater perfection and they became lighter and lighter." -- St. Maximilian Kolbe.
