Quotes on Fear by the Saints
We must know how to confide. There is the
fear of God and the fear of a Judas. Too much fear makes one labour without
love, and too much confidence prevents from considering the danger which we
must overcome.' - St. Padre Pio
Proclaim the truth and do
not be silent through fear. - St. Catherine of Siena
He only asks of you
abandonment and perfect submission. Nothing displeases Him so much as your
uneasiness and despondency. What do you fear? Is He not powerful enough to
support you? Why, then, are you so reserved with Him? Let Him act! - St.
Margaret Mary
Stop entertaining those vain fears. Remember
it is not feeling which constitutes guilt but the consent to such feelings.
Only the free will is capable of good or evil. But when the will sighs under
the trial of the tempter and does not will what is presented to it, there is
not only no fault but there is virtue. -- Padre Pio
Initially our search for
wisdom is prompted by fear; but as we attain our goal we are led forward by
love. - St. Thalassios the Libyan
Fear is such a powerful
emotion for humans that when we allow it to take us over, it drives compassion
right out of our hearts. - St. Thomas Aquinas
Men do not fear a
powerful hostile army as the powers of hell fear the name and protection of
Mary. --St. Bonaventure
Have courage and do not
fear the assaults of the Devil. Remember this forever; it is a healthy sign if
the devil shouts and roars around your conscience, since this shows that he is
not inside your will. - St. Padre Pio
