Image
We've been deceived by the thought that we would be more pleasing to God in our own way than in the way God has given us.
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
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Love transforms one into what one loves.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
For there is no obedience without humility, nor humility without charity.
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
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
Do not be satisfied with little things, because God wants great things!
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
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
Start being brave about everything. Drive out darkness and spread light. Don’ look at your weaknesses. Realize instead that in Christ crucified you can do everything.
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
Even if [the Pope an incarnate devil], we ought not to raise up our heads against him, but calmly lie down to rest on his bosom... He who rebels against our Father is condemned to death, for that which we do to him we do to Christ: we honor Christ if we honor the Pope we dishonor Christ if we dishonor the Pope.
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
all the vices are seasoned with pride just as the virtues are seasoned and enlivened by charity.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
We trust and believe in what we love.
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
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
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.
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.
