More quotes by Alphonsus Liguori
The sufferings endured for God are the greatest proof of our love for Him.
Alphonsus Liguori
Let us thank God for having called us to His holy faith. It is a great gift, and the number of those who thank God for it is small.
Alphonsus Liguori
Assuredly, Loving Souls, you should go to God with all humility and respect, humbling yourselves in His presence, especially when you remember your past ingratitude and sins.
Alphonsus Liguori
It is just that he should act with reserve towards those who act with reserve towards him. On the contrary, he gives himself entirely to those souls, who, driving from their hearts everything that is not God, and does not lead them to his love, and giving themselves to him without reserve, truly say to him: My God and my all.
Alphonsus Liguori
What does it cost us to say: My God help me! Have mercy on me! Is there anything easier than this? And this little will suffice to save us if we be diligent in doing it.
Alphonsus Liguori
You may be sure that of all the moments of your life, the time you spend before the divine Sacrament will be that which will give you more strength during life and more consolation at the hour of your death and during eternity
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
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
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
A soul who loves Jesus Christ desires to be treated the way Christ was treated-desires to be poor, despised, and humiliated.
Alphonsus Liguori
True, He is infinite Majesty, but He is also infinite Goodness and infinite Love. There can be no greater Lord than God neither can there be a more ardent lover than He.
Alphonsus Liguori
All souls in hell are there because they did not pray. All the saints sanctified themselves by prayer.
Alphonsus Liguori
Let us make up for lost time. Let us give to God the time that remains to us.
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
When we see a beautiful object, a beautiful garden, or a beautiful flower, let us think that there we behold a ray of the infinite beauty of God, who has given existence to that object.
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
Without prayer it is impossible to resist temptations and to keep the commandments.
Alphonsus Liguori
Those who say the Rosary daily and wear the Brown Scapular and who do a little more, will go straight to Heaven.
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
To be silent when we are impelled to utter words injurious to God or to our neighbour, is an act of virtue but, to be silent in confessing our sins, is the ruin of the soul.
Alphonsus Liguori
