His writings are full of pearls like this one, from "The Practice of the Love of Jesus Christ:"
Our Lord said one day to St. Teresa, "Everything which does not give pleasure to me is vanity." Would that all understood well this great truth! . . . It is not necessary to be rich in this world, to gain the esteem of others, to lead a life of ease, to enjoy dignities, to have a reputation for learning; it is only necessary to love God and to do his will.
St. Alphonsus Liguori, pray for us.
