If you find it impossible to pray, hide behind your good Angel and charge him to pray in your stead.
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 VianneyThe saints had no hatred, no bitterness; they forgive everything and think they deserve much more for their offenses against God.
John VianneyOn 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 Vianney
