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
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
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
For there is no obedience without humility, nor humility without charity.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
The devil never sleeps.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
And of what should we be afraid? Our captain on this battlefield is Christ Jesus. We have discovered what we have to do. Christ has bound our enemies for us and weakened them that they cannot overcome us unless we so choose to let them. So we must fight courageously and mark ourselves with the sign of the most Holy Cross.
St. Catherine of Siena

Heaven is along the way.
St. Catherine of Siena

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
You are rewarded not according to your work or your time but according to the measure of your love.
St. Catherine of Siena

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
Lose yourself wholly and the more you lose, the more you will find.
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
Love does not stay idle.
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
too great pity is the greatest cruelty.
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
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
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
