Words From St John Vianney
Oct 4th, 2009 | By HGC | Category: Year for Priests
“Go to confession to the Blessed Virgin, or to an angel; will they absolve you? No. Will they give you the body and blood of our Lord? No. The Holy Virgin cannot make her Divine Son descend into the Host. You might have two hundred angels there, but they could not absolve you. A priest, however simple he may be, can do it; he can say to you, ‘Go in peace; I pardon you.’ Oh how great is a priest!”
