So great is the compassion excited in Mary by our misery, and such is the love that she bears us, that she prays constantly, and relaxes not her efforts in our behalf.

More quotes by Alphonsus Liguori
To put into practice the teachings of our holy faith, it is not enough to convince ourselves that they are true we must love them. Love united to faith makes us practice our religion.
Alphonsus Liguori
God is displeased at the diffidence of souls who love Him sincerely and whom He Himself loves.
Alphonsus Liguori
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
No, he can never be lost who recommends himself to thee, O Mary.
Alphonsus Liguori

Saint Teresa, as the Roman Rota attests, never fell into any mortal sin but still Our Lord showed her the place prepared for her in Hell not because she deserved Hell, but because, had she not risen from the state of lukewarmness in which she lived, she would in the end have lost the grace of God and been damned.
Alphonsus Liguori
All souls in hell are there because they did not pray. All the saints sanctified themselves by prayer.
Alphonsus Liguori
The heart of man is, so to speak, the paradise of God.
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
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
There is no one, after God, who loves us as much as this most loving Mother does.
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
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
The sufferings endured for God are the greatest proof of our love for Him.
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
St. Francis Borgia says that he who desires to consecrate himself to God must, in the first place, trample under his feet all regard for what others will say of him. O my God, why do we not ask what Jesus Christ or his holy mother will think of our conduct?
