“If you are disgusted with yourself, remember that you can come to God even by a succession of disgusts.  That is one of the ways God makes you feel hunger for the Divine.  Do you not crave food most when you are hungry?  Do you not want water most when you are thirsty?  Your own disgust, if you knew it, is the distant call of Mercy.  Only when God ceases to be infinitely merciful and only when you begin to be infinitely evil, will there be reason for despair; and that will be NEVER!”  Archbishop Fulton Sheen (The Seven Virtues)
