Title: Quote for the Day: Martyrdom and Obedience Post by: Shin on October 20, 2010, 03:36:25 PM 'In martyrdom only the desire to live is sacrificed, but in obedience every kind of desire is sacrificed at one and the same time.'
St. Ignatius of Loyola Title: Re: Quote for the Day: Martyrdom and Obedience Post by: Brigid on October 20, 2010, 03:43:33 PM I love this quote. :D
It makes me think of: He who always acts under obedience, may rest assured that he will not have to give an account of his actions to God.' St. Philip Neri Title: Re: Quote for the Day: Martyrdom and Obedience Post by: Brigid on October 20, 2010, 05:57:58 PM 'Obedience will enable you to advance untiringly, and to gain more readily the road to Heaven; inasmuch as you will be journeying, in a manner, under the guidance of another, and not by your own will and judgment.'

Title: Re: Quote for the Day: Martyrdom and Obedience Post by: martin on October 21, 2010, 11:59:55 AM Sounds easy but I bet it's very difficult in practice as it means dying to ones own self will and allowing another to dictate the best path.. I'm sure there would be many occasions when pride would have to be knocked on the head especially if one felt the advice was poor or at least not as good as ones own thoughts on the matter.
Humility and obedience, The jewels of sanctity.
