The devil suggests…
To prevent us doing a good deed, the devil often suggests to us a better: then he raises fresh difficulties and obstacles to prevent our doing that.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
When tempted…
When you are tempted, summon to your assistance the hope and thought that consolation will shortly follow, especially if by holy struggles you gradually overcome the struggles of despair.
— Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Listen much…
Speak little, listen much.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Go and set…
Go and set the whole world on fire.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Love is shown…
Love is shown more in deeds than in words.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Patient in listening…
We should be slow to speak and patient in listening to all men, but especially to inferiors. Our ears should be wide open to our neighbor until he seems to have said all that is in his mind.
— Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
