More quotes by John Vianney

Image
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
Image
The saints had no hatred, no bitterness they forgive everything and think they deserve much more for their offenses against God.
John Vianney
Image
The Lord is more anxious to forgive our sins than a woman is to carry her baby out of a burning building.
John Vianney
Image
There were two saints in the desert, who had sewed thorns into all their clothes and we seek for nothing but comfort!
John Vianney
Image
The virtue of obedience makes the will supple... It inspires the courage with which to fulfill the most difficult tasks.

Image
On this path, it is only the first step that counts.
John Vianney

John Vianney
Image
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
Image
Almighty God sends no trial without consolation.
John Vianney

John Vianney
Image
The pure soul is a beautiful rose, and the Three Divine Persons descend from Heaven to inhale its fragrance.
John Vianney
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Only after the Last Judgment will Mary get any rest from now until then, she is much too busy with her children.
John Vianney
Image
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
Image
Understand this clearly: if you know how to give, you must know how to pay back. . .
John Vianney
Image
How sweet it is to die if one has lived on the Cross!
John Vianney
Image
All that we do without offering it to God is wasted.

Image
Sin is the assassin of the soul.
