More quotes by Ambrose
May each one of us glorify the Lord with the soul of Mary and rejoice in God with the spirit of Mary
Ambrose
Reverence: the spiritual attitude of a man to a god and a dog to a man.
Ambrose
What is impossible to God? Not that which is difficult to His power, but that which is contrary to His nature.
Ambrose
When in Rome, live as the Romans do. When elsewhere, live as they live elsewhere.
Ambrose
Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of God. No one is excepted, not [even] the infant.
Ambrose
As in paradise, God walks in the Holy Scriptures, seeking man.
Ambrose
And let them remember that prayer should accompany the reading of Sacred Scripture, so that God and man may talk together for we speak to Him when we pray we hear Him when we read the divine saying.
Ambrose
It is Peter himself that He says, 'You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church.' Where Peter is, there is the Church. And where the Church, no death is there, but life eternal.
Ambrose
The Church's foundation is unshakable and firm against the assaults of the raging sea. Waves lash at the Church but do not shatter it. Although the elements of this world constantly batter and crash against her, she offers the safest harbor of salvation for all in distress.
Ambrose
Let us take refuge from this world. You can do this in spirit, even if you are kept here in the body. You can at the same time be here and present to the Lord. Your soul must hold fast to him, you must follow after him in your thoughts, you must tread his ways by faith, not in outward show.
Ambrose
If you have two shirts in your closet, one belongs to you and the other to the man with no shirt.
Ambrose
God is not accustomed to refusing a good gift to those who ask for one. Since he is good, and especially to those who are faithful to him, let us hold fast to him with all our soul, our heart, our strength, and so enjoy his light and see his glory and possess the grace of supernatural joy.
Ambrose
It is a better thing to save souls for the Lord than to save treasures. He who sent forth his apostles without gold had not need of gold to form his Church. The Church possesses gold, not to hoard, but to scatter abroad and come to the aid of the unfortunate.
Ambrose
Love is like a shadow, one can only catch it by falling into it.
Ambrose
Let your door stand open to receive Him, unlock your soul to Him, offer Him a welcome in your mind, and then you will see the riches of simplicity, the treasures of peace, the joy of grace. Throw wide the gate of your heart, stand before the sun of the everlasting light.
Ambrose
Just as riches are an impediment to virtue in the wicked, so in the good they are an aid of virtue.
Ambrose
It is not the ambassador, it is not the messenger, but the Lord Himself that saveth His people. The Lord remaineth alone, for no man can be partner with God in forgiving sins this office belongs solely to Christ, who taketh away the sins of the world.
Ambrose
Neither angel, nor archangel, nor yet even the Lord Himself (who alone can say I am with you), can, when we have sinned, release us, unless we bring repentance with us.
Ambrose
When in Rome, live in the Roman way.
Ambrose
A good youth ought to have a fear of God, to be subject to his parents, to give honor to his elders, to preserve his purity he ought not to despise humility, but should love forbearance and modesty. All these are an ornament to youthful years.
Ambrose
