John Vianney
Almighty God sends no trial without consolation.
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 first thing about the angels that we ought to imitate, is their consciousness of the Presence of God.
