More quotes by Ignatius of Loyola

Ignatius of Loyola

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
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

God our Lord would have us look to the Giver and love Him more than His gift, keeping Him always before our eyes, in our hearts, and in our thoughts.
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
... we ought even to hold as a fixed principle that what I see white I believe to be black, if the superior authorities define it to be so.
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
Occupy yourself in beholding and bewailing your own imperfections rather than contemplating the imperfections of others.
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
Let us work as if success depended upon ourselves alone, but with heartfelt conviction that we are doing nothing, and God everything.
Ignatius of Loyola
Love ought to show itself in deeds more than in words.
