The exact quote about the Pope's transformative confession:
"Before going to the party, I passed by the parish where I was going, found a priest, whom I did not know, and felt the need to go to confession. This was an experience of encounter for me: I found that someone was waiting for me. But I don't know what happened, I don't remember, I don't really know why it was that priest there, whom I didn't know, why I felt this urge to go to confession, but the truth is that someone was waiting for me. He had been waiting for me for a long time. After confession, I felt that something had changed. I was not the same. I had heard just like a voice, a call: I was convinced that I had to become a priest. This experience in faith is important. We say that we must seek God, go to Him to ask forgiveness, but when we go, He is waiting for us, He is first! ... You go [a] sinner, but He is waiting to forgive you. (Vigil of Pentecost 18 May 2013)" vaticannews.va
