Image
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
Image
It is a great mistake, as we have already remarked, to be afraid of Him and to act in His presence like a timid and craven slave trembling with fright before his master.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
Your God is ever beside you - indeed, He is even within you.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
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
Image
You will gain more by receiving scorn peacefully than if you fasted for a week on bread and water. It is good to humble ourselves but it is much more worthwhile to accept the humiliations that come to us from others.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
Let us make up for lost time. Let us give to God the time that remains to us.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
The sufferings endured for God are the greatest proof of our love for Him.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
A true servant of Mary cannot be lost.
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
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
Image
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
Image
In the Great Deluge in the days of Noah, nearly all mankind perished, eight persons alone being saved in the Ark. In our days a deluge, not of water but of sins, continually inundates the earth, and out of this deluge very few escape. Scarcely anyone is saved.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
In temptations against chastity, the spiritual masters advise us, not so much to contend with the bad thought, as to turn the mind to some spiritual, or, at least, indifferent object. It is useful to combat other bad thoughts face to face, but not thoughts of impurity.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
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
Image
Since His delights are to be with you, let yours be found in Him.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
Let us remember the devil labors hard to disturb us at the time of recollection in order to make us abandon it. Let him then who omits mental prayer on account of distractions be persuaded that he gives delight to the devil.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
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
Image
There is a practice that is most powerful in keeping us united with God. That practice is the constant recollection of His presence.

Image
A dancer differeth from a madman only in length of time one is mad so long as he liveth, the other while he danceth.

My Jesus! What a lovable contrivance this holy Sacrament was - that You would hide under the appearance of bread to make Yourself loved and to be available for a visit by anyone who desires You!
