God does not require from you to be sinless when you come before Him, but He does require you to be unceasing in your perseverance. 

FALLEN threads I will not search for – I will weave.

THE most cowardly of all temptations is that of discouragement.

Listen to the leadings of grace, then say and do nothing but what the Holy Spirit shall put in your heart.

No fasting, for instance, will make the soul pure, but a noble attachment will keep all baser feelings in check and ennoble them. 

 It is by adding to our good purposes and nourishing the affections which are rightly placed, that we shall be able to combat the bad ones.

IF YOU wish not to be of an angry temper, do not feed the habit,

The sins of the temper produce the worst results at once in our neighbour and in ourselves.

Do not look within to see whether your feelings are right;  but look without to see what you are doing for others;

WE are wrong always when we think too much of what we think or are.
