Ignatius of Loyola
The enemy is like a woman, weak in face of opposition, but correspondingly strong when not opposed. In a quarrel with a man, it is natural for a woman to lose heart and run away when he faces up to her on the other hand, if the man begins to be afraid and to give ground, her rage, vindictiveness and fury overflow and know no limit.
Ignatius of Loyola
A religious ought to dread more being afraid of poverty than experiencing it.
Ignatius of Loyola
The principal end both of my father and of myself in the conquest of India... has been the propagation of the holy Catholic faith.
Ignatius of Loyola
If one fears men much he will never do anything great for God: all that one does for God arouses persecution.
Ignatius of Loyola
There is no doubt that God will never be wanting to us, provided that He finds in us that humility which makes us worthy of His gifts, the desire of possessing them, and the promptitude to co-operate industriously with the graces He gives us.
Ignatius of Loyola
Among the many signs of a lively faith and hope we have in eternal life, one of the surest is not being overly sad at the death of those whom we dearly love in our Lord.
Ignatius of Loyola
Remember that the good angels do what they can to preserve men from sin and obtain God's honor. But they do not lose courage when men fail.
Ignatius of Loyola
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
Few souls understand what God would effect in them if they should give themselves entirely into his hands and allow his grace to act.
