More quotes by Alphonsus Liguori
Such is the compassion, such the love which Mary bears us, that she is never tired of praying for us.
Alphonsus Liguori
Without prayer it is impossible to resist temptations and to keep the commandments.
Alphonsus Liguori
What is it that renders death terrible? Sin. We must therefore fear sin, not death.
Alphonsus Liguori
The principal means of acquiring an ardent love of Christ are mental prayer, Communion, mortification, retirement.
Alphonsus Liguori
So great is the compassion excited in Mary by our misery, and such is the love that she bears us, that she prays constantly, and relaxes not her efforts in our behalf.
Alphonsus Liguori
As all our wickedness consists in turning away from our Creator, so all our goodness consists in uniting ourselves with Him.
Alphonsus Liguori
He who suffers in patience, surfers less and saves his soul. He who suffers impatiently, suffers more and loses his soul.
Alphonsus Liguori
The brightest ornaments in the crown of the blessed in heaven are the sufferings which they have borne patiently on earth.
Alphonsus Liguori
The sovereigns of the earth do not always grant audience readily on the contrary, the King of Heaven, hidden under the eucharistic veils, is ready to receive anyone.
Alphonsus Liguori
We must show charity towards the sick, who are in greater need of help. Let us take them some small gift if they are poor, or, at least let us go and wait on them and comfort them.
Alphonsus Liguori
Let us make up for lost time. Let us give to God the time that remains to us.
Alphonsus Liguori
Acquire the habit of speaking to God as if you were alone with Him, familiarly and with confidence and love, as to the dearest and most loving of friends.
Alphonsus Liguori
After the love which we owe Jesus Christ, we must give the chief place in our heart to the love of His Mother Mary.
Alphonsus Liguori
Your God is ever beside you - indeed, He is even within you.
Alphonsus Liguori
Let us read the lives of the saints let us consider the penances which they performed, and blush to be so effeminate and so fearful of mortifying our flesh.
Alphonsus Liguori
It would be the greatest delight of the seraphs to pile up sand on the seashore or to pull weeds in a garden for all eternity, if they found out such was God's will. Our Lord himself teaches us to ask to do the will of God on earth as the saints do it in heaven: Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Alphonsus Liguori
A dancer differeth from a madman only in length of time one is mad so long as he liveth, the other while he danceth.
Alphonsus Liguori
All souls in hell are there because they did not pray. All the saints sanctified themselves by prayer.
Alphonsus Liguori
If you embrace all things in this life as coming from the hands of God, and even embrace death to fulfill His holy will, assuredly you will die a saint.
Alphonsus Liguori
He who desires nothing but God is rich and happy.
Alphonsus Liguori
