John Vianney
If people would do for God what they do for the world, what a great number of Christians would go to Heaven.

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.

John Vianney
The pure soul is a beautiful rose, and the Three Divine Persons descend from Heaven to inhale its fragrance.
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
Only after the Last Judgment will Mary get any rest from now until then, she is much too busy with her children.
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
It is always springtime in the heart that loves God.
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
A priest goes to Heaven or a priest goes to Hell with a thousand people behind.
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
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
