Image
It is human to sin, but diabolic to persist in sin.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Let us enter into the house of knowledge of ourselves.
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
For there is no obedience without humility, nor humility without charity.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Heaven is along the way.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
All the way to heaven is heaven, because Jesus said, I am the way.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
all the vices are seasoned with pride just as the virtues are seasoned and enlivened by charity.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
The soul is in God and God in the soul, just as the fish is in the sea and the sea in the fish.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
You [God] are a fire that takes away the coldness, illuminates the mind with its light, and causes me to know your truth and I know that you are beauty and wisdom itself. The food of angels, you give yourself to man in this fire of your love
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Of course you are unworthy. But when do you hope to be worthy? You will be no more worthy at the end than at the beginning. God alone is worthy of Himself, He alone can make us worthy of Him.
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
You are rewarded not according to your work or your time but according to the measure of your love.
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
There is nothing we can desire or want that we do not find in God.
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
Every evil, harm and suffering in this life comes from the love of riches.
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
Obedience shows whether you are grateful.
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
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.
