the writings of a saint

Composed when he was a young priest,"The Sermons of the Cure of Ars"constitutes one of the most powerful Saints' writingsin the literature of the Church.No one will read this book withoutrealizing that his own moral subterfugeshave been laid bare and thathe needs to addressthe camouflaged sins and weaknesseslying buried in his inmost heart.St. John Vianney (1786-1859) barelysucceeded in becoming a priest, butfrom the HUMBLEST parish imaginable,he became the "Patron Saint ofParish Priests" everywhere.Of humble education andassigned to a forgotten farmers' village,he attracted the whole world to Ars (France).He ate one meal a day,slept only a few hours a night,heard confessions up to 17 hours a day,converted thousands.His body remains incorrupt.
