The progress you….
You may be sure that the progress you make in spiritual things will be in proportion to the degree of your withdrawal from self-love and concern for your own welfare.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
With unwearied step…
I beseech you in the grace of Jesus Christ, forget those things that are behind, and as if you had just begun your long journey for the first time, set out eagerly on the way of virtue with unwearied step.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Whirlwind of wealth…
How great a risk salvation and innocence run amid those storms and tempests that are roused at one moment by the raging whirlwind of goods and wealth, at another by honor and glory, at another by pleasure!
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
When the devil…
When the devil meets with a too delicate conscience, he tries to make it much more delicate, and to reduce it to extreme distress, so that it may be so wretchedly disturbed as at last to fall out of the race for spiritual improvement.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Obey when we…
It is not hard to obey when we love the one whom we obey.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
We cannot expect too much…
We cannot expect too much from God, for with him it is as easy to perform as to will.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
