Do not presume to choose your own way of serving instead of the one I have made for you.
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

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
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

St. Catherine of Siena

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
too great pity is the greatest cruelty.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Love transforms one into what one loves.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Consider your possessions loaned to you by God.
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
Lose yourself wholly and the more you lose, the more you will find.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Obedience shows whether you are grateful.
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
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
