Possess and don’t be possessed…
Let he who is rich strive to possess his goods, not be possessed by them.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Many the gifts of the Holy Spirit…
To seek to bring all men to salvation by one road is very dangerous. He who does so fails to understand how many and various are the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
— Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
One who is making a choice…
He who is making a choice ought to examine himself whether the affection that he has towards anything arises solely from love of God and regard to him.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Those who hunger for revenge…
How many are the pains of those who hunger for revenge! They gnaw away at themselves constantly, and they have killed themselves even before they kill their enemies.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
In Christ you…
Start being brave about everything. Drive out darkness and spread light. Don’ look at your weaknesses. Realize instead that in Christ crucified you can do everything.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
God wants our soul to be…
Now realize that this is how God wants our soul to be, without any selfish love of ourselves or of others is in between us, just as God loves us without anything in between.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
