Wisdom of Saint Jean-Marie Vianney

"Should the Trappist monk, who has passed his life in lamenting and weeping over his sins, be treated (at Judgment) the same as the bad Christian, who has lived in abundance in the midst of all the enjoyments of this life? No, certainly not. We are on earth not merely to enjoy its pleasures, but to labor for our salvation."

--Saint Jean-Marie Vianney, Exhortation on Death.
