I remember when I was a recently-ordained priest in Dallas, and I must have been rambling on and on to my spiritual director about needing to be perfect. He put up with it for a while and then stopped me.
"Michael," he asked, "have you ever made a mistake?"
I frowned and said, "Of course I have!"
"Then you can relax, you can't be perfect, That ship has sailed. Why not find a goal that won't drive us both crazy?"
Ouch!
