Alphonsus Liguori Quotes About Sinners

• El diablo no lleva a los pecadores al infierno con los ojos abiertos: primero los ciega con la malicia de sus propios pecados. Así los conduce a la perdición eterna. Antes de que caigamos en pecado, el enemigo se afana en cegarnos, para que no veamos el mal que hacemos y la ruina que nos acarreamos al ofender a Dios. Después de cometer el pecado, trata de hacernos mudos, para que, por vergüenza, ocultemos nuestra culpa en la confesión.

• St. Augustine and St. Thomas define mortal sin to be a turning away from God: that is, the turning of one's back upon God, leaving the Creator for the sake of the creature. What punishment would that subject deserve who, while his king was giving him a command, contemptuously turned his back upon him to go and transgress his orders? This is what the sinner does; and this is punished in hell with the pain of loss, that is, the loss of God, a punishment richly deserved by him who in this life turns his back upon his sovereign good.

• Mary obtains salvation for all who have recourse to her. Oh! If all sinners had recourse to Mary, who would ever be lost? ... He who is protected by her will be saved; he who is not will be lost.

• In obedience to humanity, the King of the universe come down from heaven! In obedience to humanity, he lives imprisoned on the altar! I shall not resist. He allows humans to keep him wherever they wish-in monstrance or tabernacle; to carry him in procession; to bring him into the homes of the sick and dying; to dispense him to all, whether saint or sinner. The gospel tells how marvelously he obeyed Mary and Joseph. Today he obeys every priest in the world.
