More quotes by Alphonsus Liguori
The means for maintaining perfect love is to accomplish frequent acts of love. Fire is kindled by the wood we cast into it and love is enkindled by acts of love.
Alphonsus Liguori
The more a person loves God, the more reason he has to hope in Him. This hope produces in the Saints an unutterable peace, which they preserve even in adversity, because as they love God, and know how beautiful He is to those who love Him, they place all their confidence and find all their repose in Him alone.
Alphonsus Liguori

Alphonsus Liguori
The definitions of the Church are the rules of true faith.
Alphonsus Liguori
With such thoughts in your mind, now that you have resolved to love Him and please Him with all your strength, your only fear should be to fear God too much and to place too little confidence in Him.
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

Alphonsus Liguori

Alphonsus Liguori
Woe to those who despise devotion to Mary! ... The soul cannot live without having recourse to Mary and recommending itself to her. He falls and is lost who does not have recourse to Mary.
Alphonsus Liguori

Alphonsus Liguori
What is it that renders death terrible? Sin. We must therefore fear sin, not death.
Alphonsus Liguori
What grieves me most in my past offenses, O my loving God, is not so much the punishment I have deserved, as the displeasure I have given You, Who are worthy of infinite love.
Alphonsus Liguori
Obedience to a confessor is the most acceptable offering which we can make to God, and the most secure way of doing the divine will.
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
