The detached soul…
The more detached and solitary a soul becomes, the better fitted it grows to seek and find its Creator.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
One right ambition…
There is but one right kind of ambition: to love God, and as the reward of loving him, to love him more.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Repose with Jesus…
To withdraw from creatures and repose with Jesus in the Tabernacle is my delight; there I can hide myself and seek rest. There I find a life which I cannot describe, a joy which I cannot make others comprehend, a peace such as is found only under the hospitable roof of our best Friend.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Be filled with humility…
He who loves perfection must be filled with humility like a lamp with oil: for lamps are full within and give light without, and their influence makes itself felt in whatever direction they are turned.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Seeking the eternal…
Take care lest the children of this world spend more care and attention on transitory things than you do on seeking those that are eternal.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
The wood of the Cross…
There is no better wood for feeding the fire of God’s love than the wood of the Cross.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
