AN EXCELLENT ADVICE FROM SAINT JOHN MARY VIANNEY, VERY SUITABLE FOR THE END OF THE YEAR

“Most Christians do nothing but work to satisfy this corpse [he always called the body “corpse”] that will soon fall under the ground, with no regard for the poor soul, who is destined to be happy or unhappy for eternity. Their lack of spirit and good sense makes the skin leap. See, my children, we must reflect that we have a soul to save, and an eternity that awaits us. The world, its riches, pleasures, and honours will pass away, Heaven and Hell will never pass. Let us take care, then.”

Saint John Mary Vianney
