Merit Absolution


Merit Absolution by Saint John Vianney

We must certainly be extraordinarily blind because when all is said and done, there is not a single person who could say that he is ready to appear before Jesus Christ. 

Yet in spite of the fact that we are quite aware of this, there is still not one among us who will take a single step nearer to God. 

Dear Lord, how blind the sinner is! How pitiable is his lot! My dear children, let us not livelike fools any longer, for at the moment when we least expect it, Jesus Christ will knockat our door. 

How happy then will be the person who has not been waiting until that very moment to prepare himself for Him. 

That is what I wish you to be.
