Curé d'Ars

Probably the most amazing priest that ever lived, he knew your sins before you spoke them in the confessional and told a few to go home and come back when they were ready to confess.

By 1853, Fr. Vianney had attempted to run away from Ars four times, each attempt with the intention of becoming a monk but decided after the final time that it was not to be.

He was 5'9 and weighed 161 lbs., proving one does not need to be a big man to be a big man. A saint just needs big men to protect him.

Has the devil never told you in your soul that you are nothing?
