General Description:

The Curé of Ars and the Holy Eucharist by Saint John Vianney, compiled by Canon Convert. This inspiring book is a collection from biographies, sermons, local traditions, and unpublished documents that reflect the Saint’s doctrine on the great Sacrament—a rich treasure, which is increased by sacred and touching details concerning the faith of this servant of God—his love, and his sacerdotal attitude towards the Master invisible, but really present here on earth. It will be clearly seen in the course of reading this book that the Curé of Ars had a passion for the Eucharist. We are quite sure that the contents will be the delight of a multitude of souls. It might be said that nothing is more easily forgotten than what we think we know, and that there are times when the familiar Gospel becomes a novelty again. But in these Meditations from the substance of the instructions, sermons, and homilies of St. John Vianney, traditional teaching acquires in the mouth of a saint a more luminous evidence and an undeniable fruitfulness. This book is a treasure from the heart of the holiest priest of modern times. Hardcover, smyth-sewn, 60 lb. cream paper, 200 pages.

Profile
    Farm hand who in his youth taught other children their prayers and catechism. Ordained in 1815, though it took several years study as he had little education, was not a very good student, and his Latin was terrible. Assigned for a while to Ecully. In 1818 he was assigned to the parish of Ars, a tiny village near Lyons, which suffered from very lax attendance; he began visiting his parishioners, especially the sick and poor. Spent days in prayer, doing penance for his parishioners. Gifted with discernment of spirits, prophecy, hidden knowledge, and working miracles. Tormented by evil spirits, especially when he tried to get his 2-3 hours of sleep each night. Crowds came to hear him preach, and to make their reconciliation because of his reputation with penitents; by 1855 there were 20,000 pilgrims a year to Ars. Spent 40 years as the parish priest.
