Title : Jean-Marie Vianney, priest of Ars - Marc Joulin - book

Summary :

Around 1830, in the village of Ars, a pilgrimage was formed, attracting crowds of visitors every day. Why this influx? There were no apparitions of the Virgin there—as there would be at La Salette in 1846, or at Lourdes in 1858. No, there was only one priest, and the pilgrims had no other goal than to meet him and, above all, to confess to him. For this, they waited for hours, sometimes all night! This priest was called Jean-Marie Vianney. He lived in extreme austerity. He had made his village a fervent and exemplary community. In a few years, he would become the most famous priest in France, and a model for all priests throughout the world. Pius Xi canonized him in 1925.
