O You who are mad about Your creature! true God and true Man, You have left Yourself wholly to us, as food, so that we will not fall through weariness during our pilgrimage in this life, but will be fortified by You, celestial nourishment
St. Catherine of Siena
It's one of the properties of love to love what is loved by the person we love.
St. Catherine of Siena
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
One who knows more, loves more.
St. Catherine of Siena
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
Do not presume to choose your own way of serving instead of the one I have made for you.
St. Catherine of Siena
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
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
Don't make it necessary for me to complain about you to Christ crucified. (There is no one else I can complain to, since there is no one greater than you on earth.
St. Catherine of Siena
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
Since love for our Creator cannot be sustained unless we love others for God's sake.
St. Catherine of Siena
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
Eternal Trinity... mystery deep as the sea, You could give me no greater gift than the gift of Yourself. For You are a fire ever burning and never consumed, which itself consumes all the selfish love that fills my being.
St. Catherine of Siena
The devil never sleeps.
St. Catherine of Siena
There is no perfect virtue-none that bears fruit- unless it is exercised by means of our neighbor.
St. Catherine of Siena
Nothing great is ever achieved without much enduring.
St. Catherine of Siena
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
Everything comes from love, all is ordained for the salvation of man, God does nothing without this goal in mind.
St. Catherine of Siena
Father, I am hungry for the love of God give this soul her food, her Lord in the Eucharist
St. Catherine of Siena
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.
