More quotes by Alphonsus Liguori
God is displeased at the diffidence of souls who love Him sincerely and whom He Himself loves.
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
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
The saved are few, but we must live with the few if we would be saved with the few. O God, too few indeed they are: yet amongst those few I wish to be!
Alphonsus Liguori
There is no one, after God, who loves us as much as this most loving Mother does.
Alphonsus Liguori
He who prays most receives most.
Alphonsus Liguori
Many, however, gives themselves to God, but preserve still in their hearts some attachment to creatures, which prevents them from belonging entirely to God.
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
If, on a rare occasion, it is necessary to speak with some severity in order to make a grievous crime felt, we should always, at the conclusion of the rebuke, add some kind words. We must heal wounds, as the Samaritan did, with wine and oil. But as oil floats above all other liquors, so meekness should predominate in all our actions.
Alphonsus Liguori
To put into practice the teachings of our holy faith, it is not enough to convince ourselves that they are true we must love them. Love united to faith makes us practice our religion.
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 desires nothing but God is rich and happy.
Alphonsus Liguori
What is it that renders death terrible? Sin. We must therefore fear sin, not death.
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
When we hear people talk of riches, honors and amusements of the world, let us remember that all things have an end, and let us then say: My God, I wish for You alone and nothing more.
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
New revelations regarding faith or morals ... have always been abhorred and challenged in the Church ... Hence, the Sovereign Pontiffs, the Councils, and the Fathers have been most careful to reject all novelties or new doctrines on matters of faith which differed from those already received.
Alphonsus Liguori
God loves all those who love him: I love them that love Me.
Alphonsus Liguori
A true servant of Mary cannot be lost.
Alphonsus Liguori
Happy he that knows Thee, even if he knows nothing else, says St. Augustine. If we knew all the sciences and knew not how to love Jesus Christ, our knowledge shall profit us nothing to eternal life. But if we know how to love Jesus Christ, we shall know all things, and shall be happy for eternity.
Alphonsus Liguori
