Just as a mother finds pleasure in taking her little child on her lap, there to feed and caress him, in like manner our loving God shows His fondness for His beloved souls who have given themselves entirely to Him and have placed all their hope in His goodness.
Alphonsus Liguori
Let us make up for lost time. Let us give to God the time that remains to us.
Alphonsus Liguori
It often happens that we pray God to deliver us from some dangerous temptation, and yet that God does not hear us, but permits the temptation to continue troubling us. In such a case, let us understand that God permits even this for our greater good.

A true servant of Mary cannot be lost.
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
Ask those who love Him with a sincere love, and they will tell you that they find no greater or prompter relief amid the troubles of their life than in loving conversation with their Divine Friend.
Alphonsus Liguori
By the law of nature, there is no pleasure in suffering but divine love, when it reigns in a heart, makes it take delight in its sufferings.
Alphonsus Liguori
Mary having co-operated in our redemption with so much glory to God and so much love for us, Our Lord ordained that no one shall obtain salvation except through her intercession.
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
The sufferings endured for God are the greatest proof of our love for Him.
Alphonsus Liguori
Since His delights are to be with you, let yours be found in Him.
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
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
Woe to him who neglects to recommend himself to Mary, and thus closes the channel of grace!
Alphonsus Liguori
When we have to reply to anyone who has insulted us, we should be careful to do it always with gentleness. A soft answer extinguishes the fire of wrath.
Alphonsus Liguori
He who suffers in patience, surfers less and saves his soul. He who suffers impatiently, suffers more and loses his soul.
