“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 honors will pass away; heaven and hell will never pass away. Let us take care, then. The saints did not all begin well; but they all ended well. We have begun badly; let us end well, and we shall go one day and meet them in heaven.”
Saint John Vianney, T.O.S.F. (aka the "Curé d'Ars")
French parish priest and patron saint of parish priests.
(1786 - 1859)
