Saint John Vianney Quote Offers Solace

by Anonymous

Sorrow melts away before a well offered prayer like snow before the sun.
-St. John Vianney

I really like this quote of St. John Vianney. So many times I have been in distraught situations that have plunged my heart into such a deep abyss that I thought I’d never get over the anguish. It’s during these times that I came to the realization that not through my efforts did I pray, but it must have been my very soul that continued to pray for me since my prayer became more of a deeper prayer, I guess one could say a "well-offered" prayer. The sorrow actually does melt away like the snow before the sun when my prayers are from the soul! I feel refreshed and able to deal with any situation that God allows to happen to me. Thank you Lord for blessing the world with such a wonderful priest as St. John Vianney!
