The hungry soul: satisfied...

"All the good works in the world are not 
equal to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass 
because they are the works of men; 
but the Mass is the work of God.  
Martyrdom is nothing in comparison 
for it is but the sacrifice of man to God; 
but the Mass is the sacrifice of God for man."  
- St John Vianney


"A mortal man, a creature feeds himself, 
satiates himself, with his God, 
taking him for his daily bread, his drink ...
O miracle of miracles! ... 
O love of loves! ... O joy of joys!"

St John Vianney

Remain humble, remain simple.  
The more you are so, the more 
good you will do." - St John Vianney

"Oh, how I like those little mortifications 
that are seen by nobody, such as 
rising a quarter of an hour sooner, rising for a little 
while in the night to pray!" - St John Vianney

"Only after the Last Judgment will Mary get any rest;
from now until then, she is much too busy 
with her children." - St John Vianney
