Image
Since His delights are to be with you, let yours be found in Him.
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.

Image
Mary being destined to negotiate peace between God and man, it was not proper that she should be an accomplice in the disobedience of Adam.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
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
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.

Image
St. Jerome declares that he holds for certain, and has learned from experience, that he will never make a good end who has led a bad life to the very last: 'This I hold, this I have learned by much experience, that his will be an evil end who has always led an evil life.'

Alphonsus Liguori
Image
The past is no longer yours the future is not yet in your power. You have only the present wherein to do good.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
We must practice modesty, not only in our looks, but also in our whole deportment, and particularly in our dress, our walk, our conversation, and all similar actions.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
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.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
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
Image
He who desires nothing but God is rich and happy.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
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
Image
When we hear people talk of riches, honors and amusements of the world, let us remember that all things have an end, and let us then say: My God, I wish for You alone and nothing more.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
He who trusts himself is lost. He who trusts in God can do all things.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
The means for maintaining perfect love is to accomplish frequent acts of love. Fire is kindled by the wood we cast into it and love is enkindled by acts of love.
Alphonsus Liguori
Image
Woe to those who despise devotion to Mary! ... The soul cannot live without having recourse to Mary and recommending itself to her. He falls and is lost who does not have recourse to Mary.
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
What grieves me most in my past offenses, O my loving God, is not so much the punishment I have deserved, as the displeasure I have given You, Who are worthy of infinite love.
