More quotes by Ignatius of Loyola

Ignatius of Loyola
It is proper to ask for sorrow with Christ in sorrow, anguish with Christ in anguish, tears and deep grief because of the great affliction Christ endures for me.
Ignatius of Loyola
No idle word should be uttered. I understand a word to be idle when it serves no good purpose, either for myself or for another, and was not intended to do so.
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
... 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
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
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 not have a petty regard for God's gifts, though we may and should despise our own imperfections.
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
What seems to me white, I will believe black if the hierarchical Church so defines.
Ignatius of Loyola
Truth always ends by victory it is not unassailable, but invincible.
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
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
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
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.
