Teach us, Good Lord, to give and not count the cost to fight and not to heed the wounds to toil and not to seek for rest to labor and not to ask for any reward save that of knowing that we do thy will.

Discouragement is not from God.
Ignatius of Loyola
Laugh and grow strong.
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
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
Occupy yourself in beholding and bewailing your own imperfections rather than contemplating the imperfections of others.
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
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

Ignatius of Loyola
Truth always ends by victory it is not unassailable, but invincible.
Ignatius of Loyola
He who is not getting better is getting worse.
Ignatius of Loyola
Imagine that leader of all the enemy, in that great plain of Babylon, sitting on a sort of throne of smoking flame, a horrible and terrifying sight. Watch him calling together countless devils, to despatch them into different cities till the whole world is covered, forgetting no province or locality, no class or single individual.
Ignatius of Loyola
The safest and most suitable form of penance seems to be that which causes pain in the flesh but does not penetrate to the bones, that is, which causes suffering but not sickness.
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
One must wage war against his predominant passion and not retreat until, with God's help, he has been victorious.
Ignatius of Loyola
Stand firm and immovable as an anvil when it is beaten upon.
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
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
If our church is not marked by caring for the poor, the oppressed, the hungry, we are guilty of heresy.
Ignatius of Loyola
All the honey that can be gathered from the flowers of this world has less sweetness than the vinegar and gall of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Ignatius of Loyola
