“A man with vision will overcome every obstacles and shall perform deeds that seem to be impossible.” John Marie Vianney was a man of vision. He wanted to become a priest but he has to overcome his meager from schooling, which inadequately prepared him for seminary studies.
His dedication as a confessor was his most remarkable accomplishment, that even during winter months, he would spend 11 to 12 hours of celebrating the sacrament of reconciliation. During summer months, he would increase his hearing of confession up to 16 hours. In 1929, Pope Pius XI named him as the patron saint of all Priests in the world.
