Thoughts of St. John Vianney:
We may well be astonished that God was obliged to make a commandment to forbid us to take his Name in vain.
A humble person, if his opinion is asked, gives it in all simplicity and then leaves others to give theirs. Whether they are right or wrong, he says no more.
We must take great care never to do anything before having said our Morning Prayers . . . The Devil once declared . . . that if he could have the first moment of the day, he was sure of all the rest.
Our greatest Cross is the fear of crosses.
