LISTEN | Morning Prayer - August 4, 2022 | Memorial of St. John Mary Vianney, priest

"You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it." - Mt. 16:18

St. John Baptist Mary Vianney (1786-1859) was born in Dardilly and died in Ars, France. Although his talents were limited and his education meager, he was ordained a priest in 1815. After three years at Ecully, he was appointed parish priest of Ars. Here he spent almost forty-two years of his life, devoting himself to prayer, mortification, and pastoral works. His success in directing souls made him known throughout the Christian world. Men of all ranks and conditions of life sought his guidance and advice. He was beatified by Pope St. Pius X, himself once a parish priest, and canonized by Pope Pius XI. (CatholicCulture.org)
