Sunday in the Year for Priests


From the life of St. John Marie Vianney

by Michele de Saint Pierre

Young Vianney, as we have said, was intelligent, shrewd, extraordinarily gifted with intuition, inclined to the loftiest spiritual meditation, and endowed with a generous and fiery imagination. He kept his impetuous temperament under control, thanks to his exceptional will power. He had good mental balance. Above all, he possessed vitality beyond compare, which was already at the service of his limitless zeal. He was a veritable volcano of interior energy, which love of God would later cause to erupt, sending its lava of charity far beyond the village of Ars, far beyond the boundaries of France.

Peace be with you!
