Some phrases of St. Ignacio de Loyola:
To love God in all things, and to all things in Him
Lord, I am a child! Where are you taking me?
He who avoids temptation avoids sin
God loves me more than I love myself
The examination of conscience is always the best way to take good care of the soul ”
What good is it to gain the world, if in the end you lose your soul? ”
God will provide what seems best to you.
Love must be more in works than in words.
