A man like the Cure of Ars could not help attracting crowds. Here was a man who worked "miracles," who had "the gift of tears," who was said to inflict terrible penances upon himself who labored every day far beyond human endurance, who fought with demons, who obtained by his prayers the multiplication of bread, flour, and wine, who could keep an audience enthralled for over an hour at a time without obeying the first rule of grammar and syntax, a man whose bizarre attire was unforgettable as were his power of persuasion and his bright blue eyes shining out of the face of a crucified man.
From the Remarkable Cure of Ars, by Michele de Saint Pierre
Peace be with you!
