Daily Eucharist Quote – St. John Vianney

“Do not then be surprised that so many holy people have spent their life in His house, day and night, they could not tear themselves away from His presence. They are like the good Monsieur de Vidaud. He used to get up early and go to adore the Blessed Sacrament, as soon as the church was opened. One day when he was at the chateau, they had to send three times to call him to breakfast. The mistress of the house was impatient. At the third summons he came away from the presence of Our Lord, saying: ‘My God, one cannot spend a moment in peace with You!’ He had been there since four in the morning! There are good Christians who spend their whole, life thus lost before the good God. Ah! how happy they are. We read in history that a holy priest found so much sweetness and consolation in our churches that he slept on the altar step to have the joy of waking to find himself so near his God, and God to reward him let it come to pass that he died at the foot of the altar.”
