The Thoughts of the Cure D'Ars is the most beautiful, simple, and inspiring statement of practical Catholic wisdom that most of us will likely ever read. Consisting of short, profound sayings, almost comparable to the proverbs in the Bible, this little book reflects perfectly its simple but holy author, St. John Vianney.
Jean-Marie Baptiste Vianney (1786-1859) was popularly known as the Cure of Ars, or the parish priest of Ars, which is a small farmer's village north of Lyons, France. Though of poor education, the Cure of Ars was very intelligent and well versed in the Faith. He rose to great sanctity, converted thousands of souls to Christ, became famous throughout the Catholic world, and in 1929 Pope Pius XI proclaimed him "Patron Saint of Parish Priests" worldwide! This little book is a sample of his sanctity and wisdom.

BEST gift you can give
I've given away almost 300 of these books and people LOVE them. Some keep them on their night table, some take them on trips. I'm about to order another 100 to give away.

A Real Treasure!
I love St. John Vianney and have a great devotion to him. I was blessed to visit Ars twice in my life. The priest of all priests. The devil told him that his kingdom would be no more if there were three of the Cure of Ars. That says a lot about this Saint of All Saints.

Fantastic
Just received 6 copies. I’m ordering dozens more. Seeds of love to plant in people’s hearts. Be a sower. Give this book to someone. God will provide the rain and sun. Perhaps a soul will be saved for eternity. Yes. It’s a fantastic book.
