It's one of the properties of love to love what is loved by the person we love.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
God is more ready to pardon that we have been to sin.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
It is human to sin, but diabolic to persist in sin.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
A full belly does not make for a chaste spirit.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Since love for our Creator cannot be sustained unless we love others for God's sake.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Lose yourself wholly and the more you lose, the more you will find.
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
Make two homes for thyself, my daughter. One actual home . . . and the other a spiritual home which thou are to carry with thee always.
St. Catherine of Siena

Perfection does not consist in macerating or killing the body, but in killing our perverse self-will.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
All the way to heaven is heaven, because Jesus said, I am the way.
St. Catherine of Siena

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
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
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
For there is no obedience without humility, nor humility without charity.
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
There is no perfect virtue-none that bears fruit- unless it is exercised by means of our neighbor.
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
too great pity is the greatest cruelty.
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.
