More quotes by John Vianney
The Lord is more anxious to forgive our sins than a woman is to carry her baby out of a burning building.
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
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
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
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
God commands you to pray, but forbids you to worry.
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
Almighty God sends no trial without consolation.
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
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
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
Only after the Last Judgment will Mary get any rest from now until then, she is much too busy with her children.
John Vianney
Private prayer is like straw scattered here and there: If you set it on fire it makes a lot of little flames. But gather these straws into a bundle and light them, and you get a mighty fire, rising like a column into the sky public prayer is like that.
John Vianney
If you are attached to the things of this earth, you should give alms sufficient to enable you to punish your avarice by depriving yourself of all that is not absolutely necessary for life.
John Vianney
How sweet it is to die if one has lived on the Cross!
John Vianney
The first thing about the angels that we ought to imitate, is their consciousness of the Presence of God.
John Vianney
Do not try to please everybody. Try to please God, the angels, and the saints - they are your public.
John Vianney
On this path, it is only the first step that counts.
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
Understand this clearly: if you know how to give, you must know how to pay back. . .
