Saint Ignatius of Loyola

“Act as if everything depended on you; trust as if everything depended on God.””

“If God causes you to suffer much, it is a sign that He has great designs for you, and that He certainly intends to make you a saint. And if you wish to become a great saint, entreat Him yourself to give you much opportunity for suffering; for there is no wood better to kindle the fire of holy love than the wood of the cross, which Christ used for His own great sacrifice of boundless charity.””

“It is dangerous to make everybody go forward by the same road: and worse to measure others by oneself.””
