The enemy is like a woman, weak in face of opposition, but correspondingly strong when not opposed.

Ignatius of Loyola

Ignatius of Loyola
If our church is not marked by caring for the poor, the oppressed, the hungry, we are guilty of heresy.
Ignatius of Loyola
May it please Christ our Lord to grant us true humility and abnegation of will and judgment, so that we may deserve to begin to be His disciples.
Ignatius of Loyola
If anyone asks you for something that you believe would be injurious to him, refuse, but in such a manner as not to lose his good-will.
Ignatius of Loyola
Dearest Lord, teach me to be generous teach me to serve you as you deserve to give and not to count the cost.
Ignatius of Loyola
Love ought to show itself in deeds more than in words.
Ignatius of Loyola
It is one thing to be eloquent and charming in profane speech, and another when the one speaking as a religious.

But some most worthless persons are in the habit of carrying about the name of Jesus Christ in wicked guile, while yet they practice things unworthy of God, and hold opinions contrary to the doctrine of Christ, to their own destruction, and that of those who give credit to them, whom you must avoid as ye would wild beasts.
Ignatius of Loyola
We must speak to God as a friend speaks to his friend, servant to his master now asking some favor, now acknowledging our faults, and communicating to Him all that concerns us, our thoughts, our fears, our projects, our desires, and in all things seeking His counsel.
