More quotes by Alphonsus Liguori
He who trusts himself is lost. He who trusts in God can do all things.
Alphonsus Liguori
Do not allow your daughters to be taught letters by a man, though he be a St. Paul or St. Francis of Assissium. The saints are in Heaven.
Alphonsus Liguori
Our Faith will never be true unless it is united to that of St. Peter and the Pontiff, his successors.
Alphonsus Liguori
Perfect love of God means the complete union of our will with God's.
Alphonsus Liguori
St. Francis Borgia says that he who desires to consecrate himself to God must, in the first place, trample under his feet all regard for what others will say of him. O my God, why do we not ask what Jesus Christ or his holy mother will think of our conduct?
Alphonsus Liguori
A person may be Baptized, and yet not born again to grace, in consequence of not having the necessary dispositions at Baptism.
Alphonsus Liguori
True charity consists in doing good to those who do us evil, and in thus winning them over.
Alphonsus Liguori
Mary obtains salvation for all who have recourse to her. Oh! If all sinners had recourse to Mary, who would ever be lost? ... He who is protected by her will be saved he who is not will be lost.
Alphonsus Liguori
There is no one, however wicked, whom Mary does not save by her intercession when she wishes ... He who has recourse to Mary shall be saved.
Alphonsus Liguori
Let your constant practice be to offer yourself to God, that He may do with you what He pleases.
Alphonsus Liguori
Not only is there no need of an intermediary through whom He would want you to speak to Him, but He finds His delight in having you treat with Him personally and in all confidence.
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
No, he can never be lost who recommends himself to thee, O Mary.
Alphonsus Liguori
There is a practice that is most powerful in keeping us united with God. That practice is the constant recollection of His presence.
Alphonsus Liguori
We must practice modesty, not only in our looks, but also in our whole deportment, and particularly in our dress, our walk, our conversation, and all similar actions.
Alphonsus Liguori
Woe to him who neglects to recommend himself to Mary, and thus closes the channel of grace!
Alphonsus Liguori
I Love Jesus Christ and that is why I am on fire with the desire to give Him souls, first of all my own, and then an incalculable number of others.
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
The sufferings endured for God are the greatest proof of our love for Him.
Alphonsus Liguori
In temptations against chastity, the spiritual masters advise us, not so much to contend with the bad thought, as to turn the mind to some spiritual, or, at least, indifferent object. It is useful to combat other bad thoughts face to face, but not thoughts of impurity.
Alphonsus Liguori
