More quotes by Alphonsus Liguori
The way to Heaven is straight and narrow: they who wish to arrive at that place of bliss by walking in the paths of pleasure shall be disappointed and therefore few reach it, because few are willing to use violence to themselves in resisting temptations.
Alphonsus Liguori
The definitions of the Church are the rules of true faith.
Alphonsus Liguori
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
He who trusts himself is lost. He who trusts in God can do all things.
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
Without prayer it is impossible to resist temptations and to keep the commandments.
Alphonsus Liguori
Acquire the habit of speaking to God as if you were alone with Him, familiarly and with confidence and love, as to the dearest and most loving of friends.
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
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
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
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
A true servant of Mary cannot be lost.
Alphonsus Liguori
Yet you should practice the greatest possible love and confidence in treating with Him.
Alphonsus Liguori
A dancer differeth from a madman only in length of time one is mad so long as he liveth, the other while he danceth.
Alphonsus Liguori
Such is the compassion, such the love which Mary bears us, that she is never tired of praying for us.
Alphonsus Liguori
He who prays most receives most.
Alphonsus Liguori
The sufferings endured for God are the greatest proof of our love for Him.
Alphonsus Liguori
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
As all our wickedness consists in turning away from our Creator, so all our goodness consists in uniting ourselves with Him.
Alphonsus Liguori
Happy he that knows Thee, even if he knows nothing else, says St. Augustine. If we knew all the sciences and knew not how to love Jesus Christ, our knowledge shall profit us nothing to eternal life. But if we know how to love Jesus Christ, we shall know all things, and shall be happy for eternity.
Alphonsus Liguori
