St. John Vianney (1786 - 1859) was born in France. He was draft into the army but he deserted the army and returned home so that he could join the seminary in 1813. He was assigned to Ecully and in 1818 he became the pastor of Ars. He worked 16 to 18 hours a day in the confessional administering the sacrament of reconciliation. St. John Vianney would often say: "Private prayer is like straw scattered here and there: If you set it on fire, it makes a lot of little flames. But gather these straws into a bundle and light them, and you get a mighty fire, rising like a column into the sky; public prayer is like that."


St. John Vianney please pray for us to frequent the sacrament of confession and always make a holy and honest confession.
