The way God has given us…
We’ve been deceived by the thought that we would be more pleasing to God in our own way than in the way God has given us.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
Every work of ours…
Every work of ours ought to be done both without and with moderation… for love toward God should be without measure, and that for the creature should be measured by that for God.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
Nothing not evil…
Nothing that is not in itself evil is to be put away because abuse of it is possible: to do so would shut the way to a great increase of God’s glory.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Never say or do anything until…
Never say or do anything until you have asked yourself whether it will be pleasing to God, good for yourself, and edifying to your neighbor.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Have confidence in God…
We must have confidence in God, who is what He always has been, and we must not be disheartened because things turn out contrary to us.
–Saint Philip Neri (1515-1595)
Repent and do good…
Christ died for sinners; we must take heart, therefore, and hope that Paradise will be ours, provided only we repent of our sins, and do good.
–Saint Philip Neri (1515-1595)
