"the way to overthrow the demon when he gives us thoughts of hatred against those who make us of is to pray immediately for their conversion" (ARS PRIEST)
"it is self-love that always makes us believe that we deserve only praise; while we should only seek the insults that are due to us" (Jean-Marie Vianney) "we must hate only the demon, sin and ourselves" (priest of ARS) "the demon has come to sow temptations under our footsteps; but with grace we can defeat it, we can choke the chaff... the chaff is mostly the impurity and pride" (Jean-Marie Vianney) " three things are absolutely necessary against temptation: prayer to enlighten us, the sacraments to fortify us and vigilance to preserve us. Happy souls tempted! It is when the demon provides that a soul tends to the union with God that it is redoubled. Oh! Happy Union " (ARS PRIEST) " the greatest temptation is not to have. We can almost say that we are happy to have temptations: this is the moment of the spiritual harvest where we hoard for the sky " (Jean-Marie Vianney) " the demon tries only souls who want to come out of sin and those who are in grace. The others are to him, he doesn't need to try them " (ARS PRIEST) " if we were well imbued with the holy presence of God, we would be very easy to resist the enemy. With this thought: God sees it! We never sin " (Jean-Marie Vianney) " at the moment of temptation, the promises of his baptism must be firmly renewed. Here, listen to this: when you are tempted, give the good God the merit of this temptation to obtain the opposite virtue. Also offer temptation to ask for the conversion of sinners: it will dépite the demon and make it run because temptation turns against him. Come on! After that, he will leave you alone " (ARS PRIEST) " a Christian must always be ready to fight. As in times of war there are always sentries placed there and there, to see if the enemy approaches; likewise, we must always be on our guards to see if the enemy does not tend us traps and if he does not come Surprise us " (Jean-Marie Vianney) " after God, the priest is all! Leave a parish years without priest: we will love the beasts " (ARS PRIEST) " the priesthood is the love of Jesus's heart. When you see the priest, think of our LORD JESUS CHRIST " (Jean-Marie Vianney) "the passion of our Lord is like a great river that descends from a mountain and never exhausts" (priest of ARS) " when we are in front of the Holy Sacrament, instead of looking around us, let us close our eyes and mouth; open our heart, the good God will open his. We will go to him, he will come to us, one to ask and the other to receive: it will be like a breath from each other. Let us not forget to look for God! The Saints lost to see only God, only to work for him; they forgot all the objects created to find only him: this is how we arrive in heaven " (Jean-Marie Vianney) "humility is like a balance; the more we fall on one side and the more we are raised from the other" (ARS PRIEST)
