More quotes by 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 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
If people would do for God what they do for the world, what a great number of Christians would go to Heaven.
John Vianney
How sweet it is to die if one has lived on the Cross!
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
You either belong wholly to the world or wholly to God.
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
There were two saints in the desert, who had sewed thorns into all their clothes and we seek for nothing but comfort!
John Vianney
All that we do without offering it to God is wasted.
John Vianney
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
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
On this path, it is only the first step that counts.
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
Only after the Last Judgment will Mary get any rest from now until then, she is much too busy with her children.
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
Almighty God sends no trial without consolation.
John Vianney
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
The pure soul is a beautiful rose, and the Three Divine Persons descend from Heaven to inhale its fragrance.
John Vianney
It is always springtime in the heart that loves God.
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
