As all our wickedness consists in turning away from our Creator, so all our goodness consists in uniting ourselves with Him.
Alphonsus LiguoriGod is displeased at the diffidence of souls who love Him sincerely and whom He Himself loves.
Alphonsus LiguoriTo be silent when we are impelled to utter words injurious to God or to our neighbour, is an act of virtue; but, to be silent in confessing our sins, is the ruin of the soul.
Alphonsus LiguoriLet us thank God for having called us to His holy faith. It is a great gift, and the number of those who thank God for it is small.
