"All holiness and
perfection of soul lies in our love
for Jesus Christ our God, who is our
Redeemer
and our supreme good." - St Alphonsus
Ligouri
"To cast fire upon the
earth—that is my mission!
And how I wish it were already blazing
fiercely!
Nothing in the world can
set hearts ablaze with love
for God like the Blessed Sacrament.
That is why this Divine Bread
has been pictured as a furnace of
love."

"I love Jesus Christ and that is why I am on
fire
with the desire to give Him souls, first of all my own, and then
an incalculable number of others." ~ St Alphonsus

Someone once remarked, after a sermon by
Alphonsus,
"It is
a pleasure to listen to your sermons;
you forget yourself and preach Jesus
Christ."
