Image
God cannot leave us. It is just that our soul is so vast, we do not always feel His lips upon the veil.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Heaven is along the way.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
What father ever gave up his son to death for the sake of his slave!
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Start being brave about everything. Drive out darkness and spread light. Don’ look at your weaknesses. Realize instead that in Christ crucified you can do everything.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Strange that so much suffering is caused because of the misunderstandings of God's true nature. God's heart is more gentle than the Virgin's first kiss upon the Christ. And God's forgiveness to all, to any thought or act, is more certain than our own being.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
How many are the pains of those who hunger for revenge! They gnaw away at themselves constantly, and they have killed themselves even before they kill their enemies.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Perfection does not consist in macerating or killing the body, but in killing our perverse self-will.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Since love for our Creator cannot be sustained unless we love others for God's sake.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
From self-knowledge flows the stream of humility, which never seizes on mere report, nor takes offense at anything, but bears every insult, every loss of consolation, and every sorry, from whatever direction they may come, patiently, with joy.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
To join two things together there must be nothing between them or there cannot be a perfect fusion. Now realize that this is how God wants our soul to be, without any selfish love of ourselves or of others in between, just as God loves us without anything in between.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
O my soul, what are you doing? Are you not aware that God sees you always? You can never hide yourself from His sight. O Father, have pity on us because we are blind and in darkness. Drive out the darkness and give me light. Melt the ice of my self-love and kindle in me the fire of Your charity.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Even if [the Pope an incarnate devil], we ought not to raise up our heads against him, but calmly lie down to rest on his bosom... He who rebels against our Father is condemned to death, for that which we do to him we do to Christ: we honor Christ if we honor the Pope we dishonor Christ if we dishonor the Pope.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
You are rewarded not according to your work or your time but according to the measure of your love.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Love transforms one into what one loves.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Do not be satisfied with little things, because God wants great things!
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
For there is no obedience without humility, nor humility without charity.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Make two homes for thyself, my daughter. One actual home . . . and the other a spiritual home which thou are to carry with thee always.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Consider your possessions loaned to you by God.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Let us enter into the house of knowledge of ourselves.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Do not presume to choose your own way of serving instead of the one I have made for you.
