Image
Your God is ever beside you - indeed, He is even within you.
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
In cold and heat, in rain and wind, the soul united to God says, I want it to be warm, to be cold, windy, to rain, because God wills it.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
Let us make up for lost time. Let us give to God the time that remains to us.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
A soul who loves Jesus Christ desires to be treated the way Christ was treated-desires to be poor, despised, and humiliated.

Such is the compassion, such the love which Mary bears us, that she is never tired of praying for us.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
Let your constant practice be to offer yourself to God, that He may do with you what He pleases.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
How beautiful she is, Our Lady of compassion! How dear! How utterly unselfish! How filled with joy for Him - and us - in the depths of her own agony and desolation!
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
God loves all those who love him: I love them that love Me.
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
I Love Jesus Christ and that is why I am on fire with the desire to give Him souls, first of all my own, and then an incalculable number of others.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
He who trusts himself is lost. He who trusts in God can do all things.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
Do not allow your daughters to be taught letters by a man, though he be a St. Paul or St. Francis of Assissium. The saints are in Heaven.
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
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
Image
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
Image
After the love which we owe Jesus Christ, we must give the chief place in our heart to the love of His Mother Mary.

The definitions of the Church are the rules of true faith.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
Nothing else is required than to act toward God, in the midst of your occupations, as you do, even when busy, toward those who love you and whom you love.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
Not only is there no need of an intermediary through whom He would want you to speak to Him, but He finds His delight in having you treat with Him personally and in all confidence.
