Seraphim of Sarov
The Lord sometimes allows people who are devoted to Him to fall into such dreadful vices; and this is in order to prevent them from falling into a still greater sin-pride. Your temptation will pass and you will spend the remaining days of your life in humility. Only do not forget your sin. View quote

When a person receives the Holy Communion, the grace of the Eucharist extends to their entire family, to both the living and the departed. The grace received through Communion is so great that, no matter how sinful a person may be, if they come to the Lord who redeems us all with the humble awareness of their great sinfulness, even if they are covered from head to toe in the wounds of sins, they will be cleansed by the grace of Christ, becoming more and more radiant, fully illuminated, and they will be saved.
