Everything will come to light…
Everything you say and do will come to light: remember that what you say in secret will be shouted from the housetops.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
No idle word…
No idle word should be uttered. I understand a word to be idle when it serves no good purpose, either for myself or for another, and was not intended to do so.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Success and dryness…
Success and dryness are equally dangerous to those who are given to prayer: the one tends to make the mind swell with pride, the other provokes it to boredom.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Decide which is better…
I leave it to your good sense to decide which is better: to say now to all that is earthly, ‘What does it profit a man?’ Or to cry in vain later on, ‘What did it profit?’
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Make a start…
The Lord will Judge us as he finds us. Therefore, it will be well to amend ourselves betimes, and not go on as those who say ‘tomorrow‘, and again, ‘tomorrow‘, and they never make a start.
–Saint John of God (1495-1550)
The path of virtue…
The path of virtue is painful to nature when left to itself; but nature, assisted by grace, finds it easy and agreeable.
–Blessed Louis de Granada (1505-1588)
