Alphonsus Liguori Quotes

God Loves All Those Who Love Him: I Love Them That Love Me.

Yet You Should Practice The Greatest Possible Love And Confidence In Treating With Him.

The Definitions Of The Church Are The Rules Of True Faith.

Do Not Allow Your Daughters To Be Taught Letters By A Man, Though He Be A St. Paul Or St. Francis Of Assissium. The Saints Are In Heaven.

It Is A Great Mistake, As We Have Already Remarked, To Be Afraid Of Him And To Act In His Presence Like A Timid And Craven Slave Trembling With Fright Before His Master.

How, Then, Shall God Give Himself Entirely To That One Who, Besides His God, Loves Creatures Still?

Our Faith Will Never Be True Unless It Is United To That Of St. Peter And The Pontiff, His Successors.

But You Never Reject A Repentant And Humble Heart.

He Would Be Guilty Of Mortal Sin, Because He Exposes Himself To The Danger Of Grievously Offending God. Hence, Before He Acts He Must Lay Aside The Doubt; And If He Has Not Hitherto Done So, He Must Confess It, At Least, As It Is Before God. But The Scrupulous, Who Have Doubts About Everything, Must Follow Another Rule: They Must Obey Their Confessor. When He Tells Them To Conquer Their Doubts, And To Act Against Scruples, They Should Obey With Exactness; Otherwise They Will Render Themselves Unable And Unfit To Perform Any Spiritual Exercise.

Not Only Is There No Need Of An Intermediary Through Whom He Would Want You To Speak To Him, But He Finds His Delight In Having You Treat With Him Personally And In All Confidence.

Obedience To A Confessor Is The Most Acceptable Offering Which We Can Make To God, And The Most Secure Way Of Doing The Divine Will.

Assuredly, Loving Souls, You Should Go To God With All Humility And Respect, Humbling Yourselves In His Presence, Especially When You Remember Your Past Ingratitude And Sins.
