His first assignment was as

the competition in austerity

for their elders.

It was at this time that he

centricity, Some detractors,
both clerical and lay, called
him a fanatic. But the people
of AIRS simply said. Our cure

ing of the cures bed.
An acquaintance, comment
ing on these incidents, once
said to him: "You must get
very frightened"
"One gets used to every
thing, my friend" Johnny
Vianney replied simply.
The humble cure began to
win fame beyond his village
as a confessor of remarkable
insight and holiness. AS early
as 1927 people from outside
Ars were seeking his advice.
Beginning in 1880, the daily
visitors to his church averaged
at least 300. At Lyons the rail-
way opened a special booking
office selling eight-day round
trip tickets to AIRS.

less time than that. And
John VianneY was equal to the
demands, In winter he spent
NOT less than II or II hours
daily in the confessional; in
summer, up TO Is hours.
Clearly. the cures skill in
the confessional was some
thing more than merely natur-
al. On one occasion he told a
friend: Il once said to a Ger.

in the midst Of the retreat,
he rose and recounted the
incident. Then he added:
.T eGentlemen, | wish that all

Of the same madness"
Today, the little mad"
priest of AIRS is recognized as
one Of the great saints of the
Catholic Church-the patron
saint of all parish priests.
His name is John Mary Wan
ney.
: During 1859 the Church is
observing the centenary of The
death of ST. John VianneY. His
feast was celebrated this year
on August 8. since August 9,
the usual date fell on . Sun-
day.
"Mad" was only one of the
many terms applied to John
Vianney. A number of por-
traits-some seemingly con-
tradictory-could be painted
Of him: farm boy, deserter
from Napoleon'S army, lag
gard student, parish priest,
renowned confessor, astound-
ing mystic. But underlying
every stage of his career was
a unifying element-a burn
ing love of God and a zeal for
souls which made his life a
spiritual masterpiece.
John vianney was born on
May 8, 1885, at DsrdilIy, near
Lyons, France. Three years Ia.
ter The French Revolution was
raging, with all its anti.cleri-
cal excuses. Much Of his early
contact with religion came
during Masses offered In sec.
ret by fugitive priests.
1t was during these years,
while learning to be a Shep-
herd boy on his fathers
farm, that he first resolved
to become a priest. At the
age of 18 he told his father
of his decision.
The good man was less
than enthusiastic: he could
not afford to educate his son,
and besides he needed him on
the farm. But the youth per-
sisted, and at the age of 20
he was allowed to begin
studies at an informal school
conducted in the nearby vii.

ley.
Young John had LITTLE ma
furai aptitude as a student.
He found Latin especially diff
fievlf. At one point, he was
almost ready TO despair Of his
studies.
But I'm the summer of 1906
he made a ~pilgrimage-on
{. foot and begging his foed-to
the shrine of st. Francis Regis.
He returned TO Ecully no bet
ter as a student, bat resolved
not to give up.
Then fate interviewed. Napol-
cons armies required him,
John Vianney was ordered to
report for service in Spain.
Dutifully, the young man
left to join his unit. On the
road he met a soldier. The
man told him to follow. He
did-and soon found himself
among a group of d~eserters.
John Vianney quickly hand.
