Today's Saint Of The Day..4/8/015 by Warldbest(m): 12:04pm On Aug 04, 2015 |
ST. JOHN VIANNEY
St. John Vianney, Priest (Patron of priests)
Feast day - August 4 Universally known as the
"Cure of Ars)," St. John Mary Vianney was
ordained a priest in 1815. Three years later he
was made parish priest of Ars, a remote French
hamlet, where his reputation as a confessor
and director of souls made him known
throughout the Christian world. His life was
one of extreme mortification.
Accustomed to the most severe austerities,
beleaguered by swarms of penitents, and
besieged by the devil, this great mystic
manifested a imperturbable patience. He was a
wonderworker loved by the crowds, but he
retained a childlike simplicity, and he remains
to this day the living image of the priest after
the heart of Christ.
He heard confessions of people from all over
the world for the sixteen hours each day. His
life was filled with works of charity and love. It
is recorded that even the staunchest of sinners
were converted at his mere word. He died
August 4, 1859, and was canonized May 31,
1925.
