More quotes by Ignatius of Loyola

Ignatius of Loyola
Discouragement is not from God.
Ignatius of Loyola

No idle word should be uttered. I understand a word to be idle when it serves no good purpose, either for myself or for another, and was not intended to do so.
Ignatius of Loyola
To withdraw from creatures and repose with Jesus in the Tabernacle is my delight there I can hide myself and seek rest. There I find a life which I cannot describe, a joy which I cannot make others comprehend, a peace such as is found only under the hospitable roof of our best Friend.
Ignatius of Loyola

Ignatius of Loyola

Ignatius of Loyola
Few souls understand what God would effect in them if they should give themselves entirely into his hands and allow his grace to act.
Ignatius of Loyola
If one fears men much he will never do anything great for God: all that one does for God arouses persecution.
