The Cure DArs : St. Jean-Marie-
Baptiste Vianney by F. Trochu
Hagiography Based On Facts And Research, Not Fantasy!
The definitive life, based on the official Process of Beatification and
Canonization, and thus totally factual and documented. Of humble
education and assigned to a forgotten farmers village, he attracted the
whole world to Ars and was proclaimed Patron Saint of Parish Priests in
1929. He ate one meal a day, slept only a few hours a night, heard
confessions up to 17 hours a day, converted thousands. His body remains
incorrupt. A grace-filled story of total love of God!
Personal Review: The Cure DArs : St. Jean-Marie-Baptiste
Vianney by F. Trochu
Abbe' Francis Trochu has presented in words printed in pages of a book,
the life of a "man of faith in God" - Jean-Marie-Baptiste Vianney, or better
known as Saint John Vianney, the Cure of Ars.

Father John Vianney was an unpretentious spiritual man and priest,
pastoring the small village patish of Ars, in France. Yet, people flocked to
be in his presence and listen to his words and share in his celebration of
the Holy Mass. Saint John Vianney's ministry became the catalyst to
numerous "life conversions" . . . to repentences . . . to acts of contrition and
sorrow for sins . . . to confessions and penance . . . he is known as the
patron saint of confession.
Reading, Abbe' Trochu's recounting of the life of Saint John brings "us" into
his spiritual presence where he beomes that very same catalyst inspiring
and moving us to "convert and repent and reconsider our lives . . . to
redirect our attention to God and His ways rather than those of "man". We
will be impressed with the phenomena which accompanied and plagued
this humble pius priest, but those, as dramatic as they are and were, only
serve to underscore the more important and real spiritual reality of Jesus'
proclamation of the presence of the Kingdom of God and His call to
repentance (one of Pope John Paul II's Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary
meditation points). Saint John didn't just "preach" repentance, but he lived
a life of penance.
In our times, so many have looked for and found reasons and causes to
devalue respect for "the priesthood" (some based on real human faults and
failings and sins of some priests, many merely used as an excuse to
ignore the teachings of "The Priest -- Jesus Christ" and to follow the social
engineerings/manipulations/manueverings of a confused directionless
society - as the late George Harrison once pointed out and described it:
"when you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there").
But the Church, and so "the world" will always have examples of true
priestly charisms in souls such as Saint John Vianney (we could add a
myriad number more such as Saint John Of Kronstadt, Saint Seraphim Of
Sarov,and Saint Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, to mention just a few). And
priests such as these are not to be easily nor lightly dismissed, escept at
one's own risk of failing their own souls and spiritual life . . .and eternal
life.
Reading Abbe' Trochu's biography of Father John Vianney is a spiritual
blessing and encounter with a priest who calls us to God, to Jesus, not
only by words, but by how he lived and prayed his entire life . . . and still
lives and prays in heaven. This is a book you will not regret nor forget
reading. These days we hear so much about the need for "change" . . .
and making "the change" that counts is what Saint John Vianney and this
book is about.
