Our Saint of the Week is St. John Mary Vianney, whose feast day will be celebrated on Wednesday, August 4. John Vianney was born in Dardilly, France, on the eighth of May, 1786, the fourth of six children born to a devout Catholic family. His mother Marie and his father Matthieu always helped the poor. The Vianney children were raised during the French Revolution, and at this time terror struck the Catholic priests and clerics, who were always on the run risking their lives to say Masses. Actually, John considered priests to be heroes. At the age of thirteen, John received his First Holy Communion in a neighbor’s kitchen, where the windows were covered, so that the lights of the candles lit during Mass could not be seen. He also prepared for his Confirmation secretly. Finally, the Catholic Church was re-established in France in 1802, when Napoleon Bonaparte established control and peace ensued. During the French Revolution, John’s education was seriously interrupted, and his primary education was meager, so at the age of twenty he longed for a full education, and consequently his father allowed John to leave the family farm to attend a “presbytery-school” in the village of E’cully, where John was taught arithmetic, history, geography, and Latin. Truly, John struggled with his education especially Latin, but he persevered in his studies because now he earnestly desired to become a priest. In 1809, John was drafted into Napoleon Bonaparte’s army, which was fighting against Spain, but soon John became ill and was hospitalized. When he finally was released from the hospital, instead of going back to his military group, John deserted, and fled into the mountains of Le Forez to the village of Les Noes with other deserters, where John opened a school for children. Luckily for him, in 1810 amnesty was granted to all deserters, so John returned to E’cully to resume his ecclesiastic studies. Later in 1812, he entered a minor seminary Abbe Balley, and then John entered the major seminary at Lyons. His academic progression was still slow, so John was sent back to Abbe Balley, but because of John Vianney’s piety, the Vicar General sent him back to Lyons. On August 12, 1815, John Mary Vianney was ordained a priest, and in 1818, he became the parish priest of Ars parish. It was evident to Father John that the people there spent a significant amount of time in the fields and taverns. The French Revolution had caused indifference and ignorance in the populace. Few of his parishioners spent time in church, and in the confessionals, so Father John taught catechism, visited every family weekly, organized religious guilds, and lectured in his homilies about the reverence and respect that should be offered to God, especially on Sundays. Actually, Father John was always aware of his responsibilities as a parish priest, and he transformed the Ars community, through his saintly life, his ardent devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and his consistent dedication to reconciling people with God in the confessional. It was noted that Father John would spend from eleven to twelve hours every day in the confessional during the winter, and sixteen to eighteen hours a day in the confessional with his people during the summer. As his fame spread, some 20,000 pilgrims every year visited his church, where he also erected a chapel and shrine to St. Philomena to whom he attributed his miraculous recovery and return to health after a critical illness. It has been recorded that St. John Mary Vianney died on August 4, 1859, at the age of seventy-three. In 1925, Pope Pius XI canonized St. John Mary Vianney, and in 1929, he was declared the patron saint of parish priests. When Pope John Paul II visited Ars in 1986, he referred to Father John Vianney as “a rare example of a pastor…and a sign of courage for those who today experience the grace of being called to the priesthood.” St. John Mary Vianney is said to have lived his life according to the heart of Christ and united his heart to Christ’s.
OUR PRAYER: ALMIGHTY GOD, WE BESEECH YOU THAT WE MAY BE ABLE TO WIN THE SOULS OF OUR BROTHERS FOR CHRIST AS ST. JOHN VIANNEY DID, AND TOGETHER WITH THEM MAY WE ATTAIN ETERNAL GLORY. AMEN
Yours in Christ,
Mrs. Joanne Giffard, CCD/Religious Education Coordinator ccd@sjecarmichael.org
