If the hierarchy of the Church…
We should always be disposed to believe that that which appears white is really black, if the hierarchy of the Church so decides.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
One who knows God…
He who knows God knows how to raise his mind immediately to God’s love, not only when he beholds the starry heavens, but even on considering a blade of grass, or the smallest thing of any kind.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
The splendor of heaven….
The man who gazes on heaven with a clear eye will see all the better the darkness of earthly things: for though these emit a certain kind of brilliance, the splendor of heaven darkens all their light.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
The Catholic Church is….
The Catholic Church is but one; for as the Bridegroom is one, the Bride must be one also. Between the Bridegroom and the Bride there is one and the same spirit.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Do good deeds well…
The most precious crown is reserved in heaven for those who do all that they do as zealously as possible: for to do good deeds in not enough by itself; we must do them well.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Love God more perfectly…
Since the object of our love is infinite, we can always love more and more perfectly.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
