When we have been to Holy Communion, the balm of love envelops the soul as the flower envelops the bee.
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
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
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
A priest goes to Heaven or a priest goes to Hell with a thousand people behind.

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
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
Image
The pure soul is a beautiful rose, and the Three Divine Persons descend from Heaven to inhale its fragrance.
John Vianney
Image
How sweet it is to die if one has lived on the Cross!
John Vianney
Image
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
Image
You either belong wholly to the world or wholly to God.
John Vianney
Image
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
Image
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
Image
To serve the Queen of Heaven is already to reign there, and to live under her commands is more than to govern.
John Vianney
Image
On this path, it is only the first step that counts.
