Can We All Be Perfect?

I came across this quote and have been pondering on it for few days. It is from Saint Therese of Lisieux:

"perfection consists in being what God wants us to be"

I like it because it has, for me, an uncomfortable feeling about it. Isn't this presumption gone wild ... and yet it has something of truth about it too. Was this one way that Jesus was perfect?

I suspect saying these things in the wrong places could get one into a lot of trouble.
