Feast of St. John Vianney, Cure of Ars
St. John Vianney, Cure d'Ars and Patron of Priests

St. John Vianney comes. He says, “Praise be to Jesus. I will tell you why I have come. I have come to invite every soul into the Divine Will. You may say, ‘My dear St. John, I do not know what God's Will is for me.' Here it is. Live in the present moment in Holy Love. ‘Oh, that is too hard,' you say. Only if you refuse to surrender, is it hard. Your surrender is everything. These Two Great Commandments are like jewels – like diamonds. The more you surrender, the more you see the glistening jewel. But when you place your own will in the way… ah, many obstacles. You have a rough rock covering the jewel. Your will must be chipped away to see what lies in hiding – a jewel greater than any on earth. The more you surrender, the easier it is to surrender. Make it known.”
