More quotes by Alphonsus Liguori
Yet you should practice the greatest possible love and confidence in treating with Him.
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
He who prays most receives most.
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
Many, however, gives themselves to God, but preserve still in their hearts some attachment to creatures, which prevents them from belonging entirely to God.
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
Love tends to union with the object loved. Now Jesus Christ loves a soul that is in a state of grace with immense love He ardently desires to unite Himself with it. That is what Holy Communion does
Alphonsus Liguori
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
True charity consists in doing good to those who do us evil, and in thus winning them over.
Alphonsus Liguori
He who wishes to find Jesus should seek Him, not in the delights and pleasures of the world, but in mortification of the senses.
Alphonsus Liguori
It would be the greatest delight of the seraphs to pile up sand on the seashore or to pull weeds in a garden for all eternity, if they found out such was God's will. Our Lord himself teaches us to ask to do the will of God on earth as the saints do it in heaven: Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Alphonsus Liguori
To be silent when we are impelled to utter words injurious to God or to our neighbour, is an act of virtue but, to be silent in confessing our sins, is the ruin of the soul.
Alphonsus Liguori
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
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
If you wish to strengthen your confidence in God still more, often recall the loving way in which He has acted toward you, and how mercifully He has tried to bring you out of your sinful life, to break your attachment to the things of earth and draw you to His love.
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
Since His delights are to be with you, let yours be found in Him.
Alphonsus Liguori
How, then, shall God give himself entirely to that one who, besides his God, loves creatures still?
Alphonsus Liguori
What is it that renders death terrible? Sin. We must therefore fear sin, not death.
Alphonsus Liguori
Such is the compassion, such the love which Mary bears us, that she is never tired of praying for us.
Alphonsus Liguori
