In this vivid portrait of St. John Vianney, acclaimed dramatist Henri Ghéon recounts how a humble parish priest transformed the small village of Ars into a beacon of repentance and grace. Assigned to a town of only a few hundred souls, the Curé’s tireless preaching, long hours in the confessional, and fearless confrontation of sin drew pilgrims from across France. Amid demonic harassment, personal trials, and a hidden longing for contemplative solitude, he remained obedient to his mission, working miracles of conversion and charity. Rich with episodes from his sermons and pastoral labors, this inspiring account reveals a saint whose humility, courage, and zeal continue to guide souls toward God.
