The soul hungers…
The soul hungers for God, and nothing but God can satiate it. Therefore He came to dwell on earth and assumed a Body in order that this Body might become the Food for our souls.
–Saint John Vianney (1786-1859)
Before the Blessed Sacrament…
When we are before the Blessed Sacrament, let us open our heart; our good God will open His. We shall go to him; He will come to us… It will be like a breath from one to the Other.
–Saint John Vianney (1786-1859)
Purgatory for those…
What years of Purgatory will there be for those Christians who have no difficulty at all in deferring their prayers to another time on the excuse of having to do some pressing work! If we really desired the happiness of possessing God, we should avoid the little faults as well as the big ones, since separation from God is so frightful a torment to all these poor souls!
–Saint John Vianney (1786-1859)
Do thy part…
Learn to do thy part and leave the rest to Heaven.
–Blessed John Henry Newman (1801-1890)
Called to great hazards…
If we are intended for great ends, we are called to great hazards.
–Blessed John Henry Newman (1801-1890)
Nothing would be done…
Nothing would be done at all if one waited until one could do it so well that no one could find fault with it.
–Blessed John Henry Newman (1801-1890)
