More quotes by 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
There were two saints in the desert, who had sewed thorns into all their clothes and we seek for nothing but comfort!
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
Almighty God sends no trial without consolation.
John Vianney
The pure soul is a beautiful rose, and the Three Divine Persons descend from Heaven to inhale its fragrance.
John Vianney
A priest goes to Heaven or a priest goes to Hell with a thousand people behind.
John Vianney
The man of impure speech is a person whose lips are but an opening and a supply pipe which hell uses to vomit its impurities upon the earth.
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
If people would do for God what they do for the world, what a great number of Christians would go to Heaven.
John Vianney
The saints had no hatred, no bitterness they forgive everything and think they deserve much more for their offenses against God.
John Vianney
It is always springtime in the heart that loves God.
John Vianney
On this path, it is only the first step that counts.
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
You either belong wholly to the world or wholly to God.
John Vianney
The virtue of obedience makes the will supple... It inspires the courage with which to fulfill the most difficult tasks.
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
All that we do without offering it to God is wasted.
John Vianney
God commands you to pray, but forbids you to worry.
John Vianney
Sin is the assassin of the soul.
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
