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

St. John Vianney says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“Child of Christ, here are some guidelines for priests,not only the ones who come here, but also the ones who are deciding about the Messages or the Confraternity.”

1. “Frequent confession after much soul-searching.”

2. “Pray for discernment. An opinion or a judgment is not discernment. Realize that today some Dioceses are compromised by error,by liberalism.”

3. “Use your guardian angel. Develop a love for this angel God has given you.”

4. “Love the souls in your charge, and do all in your power to bring them to salvation.”

5. “Be humble and childlike. Avoid intellectual pride. Give all credit to God from your heart.”

6. “Pray for the Poor Souls. They have much power. Put them to use.”

“If priests follow these guidelines, Jesus promises a strengthening of their vocations.”
