More quotes by Margaret Mary Alacoque
Are you making no progress in prayer? Then you need only offer God the prayers which the Savior has poured out for us in the sacrament of the altar. Offer God His fervent love in reparation for your sluggishness.
Margaret Mary Alacoque
Keep your heart in peace and let nothing trouble you, not even your faults. You must humble yourself and amend them peacefully, without being discouraged or cast down, for God's dwelling is in peace.
Margaret Mary Alacoque
Have recourse trustfully to Gods loving kindness and He will not forsake you, for He longs to bestow His graces. Though you may have had the misfortune to offend Him, He is always ready to receive you, provided you return humbly to Him.
Margaret Mary Alacoque
But above all preserve peace of heart. This is more valuable than any treasure.
Margaret Mary Alacoque
Look upon yourself as a tree planted beside the water, which bears its fruit in due season the more it is shaken by the wind, the deeper it strikes its roots into the ground.
Margaret Mary Alacoque
I need nothing but God, and to lose myself in the heart of God.
Margaret Mary Alacoque
Until we have acquired genuine prayer, we are like people teaching children to begin to walk.
Margaret Mary Alacoque
My greatest happiness is to be before the Blessed Sacrament, where my heart is, as it were, in Its center.
Margaret Mary Alacoque
Let every knee bend before Thee, O greatness of my God, so supremely humbled in the Sacred Host. May every heart love Thee, every spirit adore Thee and every will be subject to Thee!
Margaret Mary Alacoque
Do nothing through human respect and, when it assails you, say: I shall do neither more nor less for the eyes of creatures. O my God, since I wish to please Thee alone, it suffices that Thou seest me everywhere.
Margaret Mary Alacoque
The cross is a precious treasure to be kept secret, lest we be robbed of it.
Margaret Mary Alacoque
Since God wishes it - there is nothing to be done. . . Why should you thus torment yourself? Get rid of whatever He shows you to be an obstacle to His love, for His only desire is that you should live stripped of all that is not Himself.
Margaret Mary Alacoque
We must submit to the Will of God and kiss the hand that strikes us, for we know it is better to suffer in this life than in the next, since one moment of suffering willingly accepted for the love God, is worth an eternity of happiness.
Margaret Mary Alacoque
It is attachment to creatures and to self-satisfaction that weakens the blessings of love in your heart. You must die to all that, if you wish the pure love of God to reign therein.
Margaret Mary Alacoque
We must never be discouraged or give way to anxiety. . . but ever have recourse to the adorable Heart of Jesus.
Margaret Mary Alacoque
Crosses, contempt, sorrows and afflictions are the real treasures of the lovers of Jesus Christ crucified
Margaret Mary Alacoque
Cling to God, and leave all the rest to Him: He will not let you perish. Your soul is very dear to Him, He wishes to save it.
Margaret Mary Alacoque
