Image
We are of such value to God that He came to live among us... and to guide us home. He will go to any length to seek us, even to being lifted high upon the cross to draw us back to Himself. We can only respond by loving God for His love.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Let us enter into the house of knowledge of ourselves.
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
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
For there is no obedience without humility, nor humility without charity.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
The human heart is always drawn by love.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
The soul, as soon as she comes to know Me, reaches out to love her neighbors.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Charity is the sweet and holy bond which links the soul with its Creator: it binds God with man and man with God.
St. Catherine of Siena
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
Do not presume to choose your own way of serving instead of the one I have made for you.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Father, I am hungry for the love of God give this soul her food, her Lord in the Eucharist
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
We've had enough of exhortations to be silent! Cry out with a hundred thousand tongues. I see that the world is rotten because of silence.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
There is nothing we can desire or want that we do not find in God.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
O abyss! O eternal Godhead! O deep sea! What more could you have given me than the gift of your very self?
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
Everything comes from love, all is ordained for the salvation of man, God does nothing without this goal in mind.
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
There is no perfect virtue-none that bears fruit- unless it is exercised by means of our neighbor.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
What is it you want to change? Your hair, your face, your body? Why? For God is in love with all those things and he might weep when they are gone.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Perfection does not consist in macerating or killing the body, but in killing our perverse self-will.
