On the Way of the Cross, you see, my children, only the first step is painful. Our greatest cross is the fear of crosses. . . We have not the courage to carry our cross, and we are very much mistaken; for, whatever we do, the cross holds us tight - we cannot escape from it. What, then, have we to lose? Why not love our crosses, and make use of them to take us to heaven?
John VianneyOur Guardian Angels are our most faithful friends, because they are with us day and night, always and everywhere. We ought often to invoke them.
John VianneyOnly after the Last Judgment will Mary get any rest; from now until then, she is much too busy with her children.
John Vianney
