Our progress in holiness depends on God and ourselves - on God's grace and on our will to be holy. We must have a real living determination to reach holiness. 'I will be a saint' means I will despoil myself of all that is not God; I will strip my heart of all created things...I will renounce my will, my inclinations, my whims and fancies, and make myself a willing slave to the will of God.
~ Mother Teresa (in Something Beautiful for God)
