Visions of Saint John Vianney the Cure of Ars
Show Notes

St. Jean Vianney dedicated a great part of his life, close to eighteen hours a day, to hearing confessions, to head off souls racing toward Hell.  When he entered Ars, there were four dance halls in the town, but not enough room or desire for one church.  Through his priesthood, swearing turned to praying, people in the fields worked with a rosary in their hands and stopped to pray the Angelus at noon, dance halls emptied, the church filled, conversion came about!

It was believed that he "enjoyed the sight of Our Lord's presence in the Eucharist."  One time, after the Consecration of the Mass, he said, "As soon as we pray for sinners, when Our Lord is on the altar during Mass, He casts towards them (sinners) rays of light, in order to make them see their misery, and so to convert them."
