More quotes by 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
Few souls understand what God would effect in them if they should give themselves entirely into his hands and allow his grace to act.
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
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

What seems to me white, I will believe black if the hierarchical Church so defines.
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
Love ought to show itself in deeds more than in words.
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
Laugh and grow strong.
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
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
If one fears men much he will never do anything great for God: all that one does for God arouses persecution.
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
