More quotes by 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
The first thing about the angels that we ought to imitate, is their consciousness of the Presence of God.
John Vianney
Yes, my dear children, everything is good and precious in God's sight when we act from the motives of religion and of charity because Jesus Christ tells us that a glass of water would not go unrewarded. You see, therefore, my children, that although we may be quite poor, we can still easily give alms.
John Vianney
The pure soul is a beautiful rose, and the Three Divine Persons descend from Heaven to inhale its fragrance.
John Vianney
Sin is the assassin of the soul.
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
To serve the Queen of Heaven is already to reign there, and to live under her commands is more than to govern.
John Vianney
All that we do without offering it to God is wasted.
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
How sweet it is to die if one has lived on the Cross!
John Vianney
You either belong wholly to the world or wholly to 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
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
Almighty God sends no trial without consolation.
John Vianney
Do not try to please everybody. Try to please God, the angels, and the saints - they are your public.
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
Only after the Last Judgment will Mary get any rest from now until then, she is much too busy with her children.
John Vianney
On this path, it is only the first step that counts.
John Vianney
Shall we all be saved? Shall we go to Heaven? Alas, my children, we do not know at all! But I tremble when I see so many souls lost these days. See, they fall into Hell as leaves fall from the trees at the approach of winter.
John Vianney
