John Vianney
God commands you to pray, but forbids you to worry.
John Vianney
I thought a time would come when people would rout me out of Ars with sticks, when the Bishop would suspend me, and I should end my days in prison. I see, however, that I am not worthy of such a grace.
John Vianney
If you invoke the Blessed Virgin when you are tempted, she will come at once to your help, and Satan will leave you.
John Vianney
On this path, it is only the first step that counts.
John Vianney
The Lord is more anxious to forgive our sins than a woman is to carry her baby out of a burning building.
John Vianney
The Devil writes down our sins - our Guardian Angel all our merits. Labor that the Guardian Angel's book may be full, and the Devil's empty.
John Vianney
