To follow God’s will with all one’s heart: that is what makes one a saint.
–Marcel Nguyễn Tân Văn (1928–1959)
Prayer is a necessary weapon… If we pray, no matter how buffeted and attacked we may be, we remain in a deep sense invulnerable.
–Marcel Nguyễn Tân Văn (1928–1959)
If suffering makes you sad, it will be impossible for you to love Jesus, because it is by patience, accepting suffering and sadness, that you prove your love for Jesus.
–Marcel Nguyen Tan Van (1928-1959)
The [spiritual] director closest to us is Jesus himself in the tabernacle. We need to go to him and ask him how to sort out the messes that we’re in. And if that it not possible, we need to approach him in thought and heart, and ask for the light of grace.
–Marcel Nguyễn Tân Văn (1928–1959)
