"Bodite ponižni, ostanite preprosti. Čim bolj boste ponižni, tem več dobrega boste storili. Ponižnost je med krepostmi, kar je verižica pri rožnem vencu. Odstranite verižico in jagode se bodo razsule. Pozabi na ponižnost in nobene kreposti ne bo več."

Saint John Marie Vianney

The Man Who Fought the Devil

Jean Marie Vianney always found it hard to learn. In fact, he made history by receiving a zero as his examination mark after his first year of study in the seminary. But with determination, and with God’s help, he won through. He became a hard-working parish priest and then a pastor – the beloved Cure of Ars.

Week by week, year by year, his fame as an advisor and a confessor grew. People flocked from great distances to his little church, and privately, among themselves, they called him “saint”. The devil, furious at the ever-increasing number of souls being saved by the Cure, tempted and taunted the priest and even persecuted him physically. But Satan found he had met his match.

Do not try to please everybody. Try to please God, the angels, and the saints - they are your public. (Saint John Vianney)

“The fire of Purgatory is the same as the fire of Hell; the difference between them is that the fire of Purgatory is not everlasting.” – St. John Vianney

 

“If it were but known how great is the power of the good souls in Purgatory with the Heart of God, and if we knew all the graces we can obtain through their intercession, they would not be so much forgotten. We must, therefore, pray much for them, that they may pray much for us.” – St. John Vianney

[Bernard]

"To remain living on in sin with the idea that some fine day you may reform, is nothing but a devil’s snare, by which he has ruined many a soul, just as sure as he thus will ruin yours." - St. John Vianney

 “Martyrdom is nothing in comparison with the Mass, because martyrdom is the sacrifice of man to God, whereas the Mass is the Sacrifice of God for man!”  (St. John Marie Vianney)
