Image
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
Image
The path to heaven lies through heaven, and all the way to heaven is heaven.
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
A full belly does not make for a chaste spirit.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
God is more ready to pardon that we have been to sin.
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
Do not be satisfied with little things, because God wants great things!
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
It's one of the properties of love to love what is loved by the person we love.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
To the servant of God... every place is the right place, and every time is the right time.
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
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
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
All the way to heaven is heaven, because Jesus said, I am the way.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Love transforms one into what one loves.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Let us enter into the house of knowledge of ourselves.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Love does not stay idle.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Consider your possessions loaned to you by God.
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
The devil never sleeps.
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.
