God is displeased at the diffidence of souls who love Him sincerely and whom He Himself loves.
Alphonsus LiguoriThe brightest ornaments in the crown of the blessed in heaven are the sufferings which they have borne patiently on earth.
Alphonsus LiguoriThe means for maintaining perfect love is to accomplish frequent acts of love. Fire is kindled by the wood we cast into it and love is enkindled by acts of love.
Alphonsus LiguoriThe past is no longer yours; the future is not yet in your power. You have only the present wherein to do good.
Alphonsus Liguori
