Like a breath - one to the other

 

"When we go before the Blessed Sacrament,

let us open our heart; our good God will open His. 

We shall go to Him; He will come to us;

the one to ask , the other to receive. 

It will be like a breath from one to the other."

 

St John Vianney

France ~ 1786-1859

Universal patron of priests

FEAST DAY - August 4

 

 

"Humility is to the various virtues what the chain is to the Rosary. 

Take away the chain and the beads are scattered,

remove humility and all virtues vanish."~ St John Vianney

“Without the Sacrament of Holy Orders, we would not have the Lord.

Who put Him there in that tabernacle? The priest. Who welcomed your soul

at the beginning of your life? The priest. Who feeds your soul and gives it strength

for its journey? The priest. Who will prepare it to appear before God, bathing

it one last time in the blood of Jesus Christ? The priest, always the priest.

And if this soul should happen to die , who will raise it up, who will restore

its calm and peace? Again, the priest… After God, the priest is everything! …

Only in heaven will he fully realize what he is.” ~ St John Vianney (Cure d'Ars)
