In obedience to humanity, the King of the universe come down from heaven! In obedience to humanity, he lives imprisoned on the altar! I shall not resist. He allows humans to keep him wherever they wish-in monstrance or tabernacle; to carry him in procession; to bring him into the homes of the sick and dying; to dispense him to all, whether saint or sinner. The gospel tells how marvelously he obeyed Mary and Joseph. Today he obeys every priest in the world.
Alphonsus LiguoriHow beautiful she is, Our Lady of compassion! How dear! How utterly unselfish! How filled with joy for Him - and us - in the depths of her own agony and desolation!
Alphonsus LiguoriWoe to him who neglects to recommend himself to Mary, and thus closes the channel of grace!
Alphonsus LiguoriAfter the love which we owe Jesus Christ, we must give the chief place in our heart to the love of His Mother Mary.
Alphonsus LiguoriThe principal means of acquiring an ardent love of Christ are mental prayer, Communion, mortification, retirement.
