To make progress…
When taking the first steps on the road of virtue the old man must be mortified, but in such a way as not to slay the new man.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
The way of perfection…
We must strive as hard as we can to lay hold of that we follow after, and having entered the way of perfection, attain to what is most perfect.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Bind yourself to God…
The closer you bind yourself to God and the more wholeheartedly you give yourself up to his supreme majesty, the more liberal he will be to you.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
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)
