Tomorrow is the Feast of St. John Mary Vianney - popularly called the Cure of Ars. It brought to mind my visit to Ars - a beautiful town in southern France. Here is a picture of the confessional in which he spent many hours reconciling his flock to God and to one another.
And here is a picture of his relics lying in the Church. There is the odour of sanctity in the entire area. He who was not "seminary topper" gave to many an example of dedicated ministry to the 'lost sheep' in his own inimitable way.
Please whisper a prayer for all those in pastoral ministry and for yours truly.
