The first thing about the angels that we ought to imitate, is their consciousness of the Presence of God.
John VianneyThere is nothing so great as the Eucharist. If God had something more precious, He would have given it to us.
John VianneyWhen 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 VianneyWe put pride into everything like salt. We like to see that our good works are known. If our virtues are seen, we are pleased; if our faults are perceived, we are sad. I remark that in a great many people; if one says anything to them, it disturbs them, it annoys them. The saints were not like that - they were vexed if their virtues were known, and pleased that their imperfections should be seen.
