SacredHeartPublications St. Vianney: Sermons of the Cure of Ars: 2 of 3
Composed when he was a young priest, The Sermons of the Cure of Ars constitutes one of the most powerful Saints' writings in the literature of the Church. No one will hear this book without realizing that his own moral subterfuges have been laid bare and that he needs to address the camouflaged sins and weaknesses lying buried in his inmost heart. Impr. 1901 Jean-Baptiste-Marie Vianney, T.O.S.F., commonly known in English as Saint John Vianney, was a French parish priest who is venerated in the Catholic Church as the patron saint of all priests. He is often referred to as the "Curé d'Ars". He became internationally notable for his priestly and pastoral work in his parish because of the radical spiritual transformation of the community and its surroundings. Catholics attribute this to his saintly life, mortification, his persevering ministry in the sacrament of confession, and his ardent devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and to Saint Philomena.
