More quotes by 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
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
If anyone asks you for something that you believe would be injurious to him, refuse, but in such a manner as not to lose his good-will.
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
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
Receive, Lord, all my liberty, my memory, my understanding and my whole will.
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
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
The glory of God is humankind fully alive.
Ignatius of Loyola
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.
Ignatius of Loyola
To have prevented one single sin is reward enough for the labors and efforts of a whole lifetime.
Ignatius of Loyola
Spiritual infirmities such as tepidity are caused, not only by chills but also by fevers, that is, by excessive zeal.
Ignatius of Loyola
A person with imprecise ideas can understand little and be of less help to others.
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
What seems to me white, I will believe black if the hierarchical Church so defines.
Ignatius of Loyola
It is one thing to be eloquent and charming in profane speech, and another when the one speaking as a religious.
Ignatius of Loyola
Discouragement is not from God.
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
We must speak to God as a friend speaks to his friend, servant to his master now asking some favor, now acknowledging our faults, and communicating to Him all that concerns us, our thoughts, our fears, our projects, our desires, and in all things seeking His counsel.
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
