More quotes by John Vianney
How sweet it is to die if one has lived on the Cross!
John Vianney
We ought to ask the Blessed Virgin, the angels, and the saints to pray for us that we may receive the good God as worthily as it is possible for us to receive him.
John Vianney
Our body is a vessel of corruption it is meant for death and for the worms, nothing more! And yet we devote ourselves to satisfying it, rather than to enriching our soul, which is so great that we can conceive nothing greater - no, nothing, nothing!
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
There were two saints in the desert, who had sewed thorns into all their clothes and we seek for nothing but comfort!
John Vianney
It is always springtime in the heart that loves God.
John Vianney
If people would do for God what they do for the world, what a great number of Christians would go to Heaven.
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
Understand this clearly: if you know how to give, you must know how to pay back. . .
John Vianney
The virtue of obedience makes the will supple... It inspires the courage with which to fulfill the most difficult tasks.
John Vianney
Only after the Last Judgment will Mary get any rest from now until then, she is much too busy with her children.
John Vianney
When we have been to Holy Communion, the balm of love envelops the soul as the flower envelops the bee.
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
Sin is the assassin of the soul.
John Vianney
The pure soul is a beautiful rose, and the Three Divine Persons descend from Heaven to inhale its fragrance.
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
The man of impure speech is a person whose lips are but an opening and a supply pipe which hell uses to vomit its impurities upon the earth.
John Vianney
Oh, how I like those little mortifications that are seen by nobody, such as rising a quarter of an hour sooner, rising for a little while in the night to pray!
John Vianney
A pure soul is like a fine pearl. As long as it is hidden in the shell, at the bottom of the sea, no one thinks of admiring it. But if you bring it into the sunshine, this pearl will shine and attract all eyes. Thus the pure soul, which is hidden from the eyes of the world, will one day shine before the Angels in the sunshine of eternity.
John Vianney
Almighty God sends no trial without consolation.
John Vianney
