More quotes by Ignatius of Loyola
The glory of God is humankind fully alive.
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
We should always be disposed to believe that that which appears white is really black, if the hierarchy of the Church so decides.
Ignatius of Loyola
Discouragement is not from God.
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
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
We should not have a petty regard for God's gifts, though we may and should despise our own imperfections.
Ignatius of Loyola
Sin is unwillingness to trust that what God wants for me is only my deepest happiness.
Ignatius of Loyola
As for joy, as little as one can have of it in this life, experience shows that it is not the idle who possess it, but those who are zealous in the service of God.
Ignatius of Loyola
Take, O Lord, and receive my entire liberty, my memory, my understanding and my whole will. All that I am and all that I possess You have given me. I surrender it all to You to be disposed of according to Your will. Give me only Your love and Your grace with these I will be rich enough, and will desire nothing more.
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
You have given it all to me. To you, Lord, I return it. Everything is yours do with it what you will. Give me only your love and grace. That is enough for me.
Ignatius of Loyola
One must wage war against his predominant passion and not retreat until, with God's help, he has been victorious.
Ignatius of Loyola
Be generous to the poor orphans and those in need. The man to whom our Lord has been liberal ought not to be stingy. We shall one day find in Heaven as much rest and joy as we ourselves have dispensed in this life.
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
Considering that the blessed life we so long for consists in an intimate and true love of God Our Creator and Lord, which binds and obliges us all to a sincere love.
Ignatius of Loyola
He who is not getting better is getting worse.
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
We must put aside all judgment of our own, and keep the mind ever ready and prompt to obey in all things the true Spouse of Christ our Lord, our holy Mother, the hierarchical Church.
Ignatius of Loyola
Stand firm and immovable as an anvil when it is beaten upon.
Ignatius of Loyola
