We must all be converted anew every day...Being converted means turning to the very grace of our vocation; it means meditating upon the infinite goodness and love of Christ, who has addressed each of us and calling us by name, has said, "Follow Me." Being converted means continually giving an account before the Lord of our hearts, about our service, our zeal and our fidelity, for we are Christ's servants. Being converted also means giving an account of our negligence and sins, of our timidity, of our lack of faith and hope. Being converted means for us, seeking again the pardon and strength of God in the Sacrament of Reconciliation...Being converted means to pray continually and never lose heart. In a certain way, prayer is the first and last condition for conversion, spiritual progress, and holiness.

- Pope John Paul II
