Image
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.

The definitions of the Church are the rules of true faith.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
There is nothing more pleasing to God, than to see a soul who patiently and serenely bears whatever crosses it is sent this is how love is made, by putting lover and loved one on the same level. . . A soul who loves Jesus Christ desires to be treated the way Christ was treated-desires to be poor, despised and humiliated.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
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
Image
He who embraces the cross and bears it with patience lightens the weight of the cross. Indeed, the weight itself becomes a consolation for God abounds with grace to all those who carry the cross with good will in order to please him.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
True charity consists in doing good to those who do us evil, and in thus winning them over.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
Speak to Him often of your business, your plans, your troubles, your fears - of everything that concerns you.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
The servants of Mary are as sure of getting to Paradise as though they were already there. Who are they who are saved and who reign in Heaven? Surely those for whom the Queen of Mercy intercedes ... The clients of Mary will necessarily be saved.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
He who suffers in patience, surfers less and saves his soul. He who suffers impatiently, suffers more and loses his soul.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
If you wish to strengthen your confidence in God still more, often recall the loving way in which He has acted toward you, and how mercifully He has tried to bring you out of your sinful life, to break your attachment to the things of earth and draw you to His love.
