More quotes by John Vianney
Almighty God sends no trial without consolation.
John Vianney
How sweet it is to die if one has lived on the Cross!
John Vianney
The first thing about the angels that we ought to imitate, is their consciousness of the Presence of God.
John Vianney
Do not try to please everybody. Try to please God, the angels, and the saints - they are your public.
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
There were two saints in the desert, who had sewed thorns into all their clothes and we seek for nothing but comfort!
John Vianney
To serve the Queen of Heaven is already to reign there, and to live under her commands is more than to govern.
John Vianney
The saints had no hatred, no bitterness they forgive everything and think they deserve much more for their offenses against God.
John Vianney
When we receive Holy Communion, we experience something extraordinary - a joy, a fragrance, a well-being that thrills the whole body and causes it to exalt.
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
All that we do without offering it to God is wasted.
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
You either belong wholly to the world or wholly to God.
John Vianney
If you are attached to the things of this earth, you should give alms sufficient to enable you to punish your avarice by depriving yourself of all that is not absolutely necessary for life.
John Vianney
Christian wife! Follow in the footsteps of the ideal of all womanhood, the Blessed Mother of God in joy and in sorrow, she will be your advocate at the throne of her Son.
John Vianney
On this path, it is only the first step that counts.
John Vianney
Put a good bunch of grapes under the winepress, and a delicious juice will come out. Under the winepress of the cross, our soul produces a juice that feeds and strengthens us. When we haven't got any crosses, we are dry. If we carry them with resignation, what happiness, what sweetness we feel!
John Vianney
Sin is the assassin of the soul.
John Vianney
God commands you to pray, but forbids you to worry.
John Vianney
Private prayer is like straw scattered here and there: If you set it on fire it makes a lot of little flames. But gather these straws into a bundle and light them, and you get a mighty fire, rising like a column into the sky public prayer is like that.
John Vianney
