He was the son of a peasant farmer, and a slow and unpromising candidate for the priesthood: he was eventually ordained on account of his devoutness rather than any achievement or promise.

In 1818 he was sent to be the parish priest of Ars-en-Dombes, an isolated village some distance from Lyon, and remained there for the rest of his life because his parishioners would not let him leave. He was a noted preacher, and a celebrated confessor: such was his fame, and his reputation for insight into his penitents’ souls and their futures, that he had to spend up to eighteen hours a day in the confessional, so great was the demand. The tens of thousands of people who came to visit this obscure parish priest turned Ars into a place of pilgrimage.

“The Curé refused to sit for a portrait. When the sculptor Cabuchet surreptitiously tried to capture his features in a ball of wax during the catechism, Vianney sternly bounced him out of the church.” (The Curé d’Ars Today, by G.W. Rutler, 1988).

The Emperor Napoleon III recognised his eminence by awarding him the medal of the Légion d’Honneur in 1855. On learning that no emoluments accompanied the award, the Curé remarked “Then the poor will have nothing that benefits them,” and did not send to Paris the small fee demanded for postage and packing of the decoration. When it arrived anyway, the Curé was delighted at having won this small battle; but in fact someone had secretly sent the fee on his behalf. Some sources put the award in 1848, but the official documents show that they are wrong. In addition, some sources say that he sold the decoration at once and gave the money to the poor, while others say that it was put in a drawer, then taken out and attached to his coffin after he died. History is difficult.

Jean-Baptiste-Marie Vianney, Curé of Ars, died on 4 August 1859. He was beatified by Pope Pius X in 1905, and canonised by Pope Pius XI in 1925

Let us pray:
Almighty and merciful God,
by your grace Saint John Mary Vianney
was remarkable for his zeal as priest and pastor.
Help us by his example and prayers
to win our brethren for Christ by love,
and to share with them in eternal glory.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

ASH WEDNESDAY

Beside of fasting from meat during Lent, Pope Francis proposes 15 simple acts of charity.
Look at this beauty!

💠1. Say hello (always and everywhere)

💠2. Say *thank you* (even if you don't “have to”).

💠3. Remind others how much you *love them.*

💠4. *Greeting with joy* those people you see every day.

💠5. Listening to the other's *story*, without prejudice, *with love*.

💠6. Stopping to *help*. Being *attentive to those who need you.*

💠7. *Lifting someone's spirits*.

💠8. *Celebrating* the *qualities* or *successes* of another.

💠9. *Select* what you don't use and *give it* to someone who needs it.

💠10. *Help when needed* so that another can rest.

💠11. *Correct with love,* don't keep quiet out of fear.

💠12. *Have nice details* with those who are *close to you.*

💠13. *Clean what I use at home.*

💠14. *Help others overcome obstacles*.

💠15. *Call your parents*, if you are fortunate enough to have them.

• *Fast from hurtful words* and spread kind words

• *Fast from discontent* and fill yourself with gratitude

• *Fast from anger* and fill yourself with meekness and patience

• *Fast from pessimism* and fill yourself with hope and optimism

• *Fast from worries* and fill yourself with trust in God

🌟If all We try this fast, the daily life will be filled with:

*PEACE,*💜
