He was ordained a priest in 1815 and became curate in Ecully
He was then sent to the remote French community of Ars in 1818 to be a parish priest
the priest immediately began praying and working for the conversion of his parishioners
Although he saw himself as unworthy of his mission as pastor
he allowed himself to be consumed by the love of God as he served the people
Vianney slowly helped to revive the community’s faith through both his prayers and the witness of his lifestyle
He gave powerful homilies on the mercy and love of God
and it is said that even staunch sinners were converted upon hearing him
His reputation as a confessor grew rapidly
and pilgrims traveled from all over France to come to him in the Sacrament of Reconciliation
Firmly committed to the conversion of the people
he would spend up to 16 hours a day in the confessional
Plagued by many trials and besieged by the devil
he spent much time in prayer and practiced much mortification
while working without rest in unfailing humility
including the bishop and priests of the diocese
who already viewed his life as a model of priestly holiness
The Holy Curé of Ars was canonized by Pope Pius XI in 1925
Over 450,000 pilgrims travel to Ars every year in remembrance of his holy life

Today the Roman Martyrology commemorates St
convert from Judaism and a professed Priest of the Order of the Brothers of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel
Born in 1145 at Jerusalem and died by being stabbed to death in 1220 at Licata
Caterina Cittadini is also commemorated today
She was an Italian Roman Catholic religious from Bergamo who established the Ursuline Sisters of Saint Jerome Emiliani
The order was dedicated to the education of girls in Bergamo and in the surrounding areas and has since expanded outside of the Italian nation
leaving you an example that you should follow His steps" (Epistle)
The Christian slave might complain that his membership in the Church had not alleviated the harsh conditions of his life
Peter points to the example of Christ who was in all things to be the model of the Christian
neither was guile found in His mouth," but nevertheless he was subjected to persecution and injustice
But the Christian is expected to be a follower of Christ
but delivered Himself to him that judged Him unjustly." If then Christians feel that they have not achieved the liberty and the equality they long for
they are to remember that Christ had come not to right all the wrongs and injustices in the world
but to give an "example that you should follow His steps."
Men often complain against God when they suffer what they consider undeserved misfortunes
They think that God ought to interfere and punish injustice and wickedness here and now
They are like the apostles James and John; they want to call down fire from heaven and destroy those who appear to them to act improperly
Christ made it clear that all injustice will be rectified eventually
but that for the present He wishes to allow the cockle to grow among the wheat
When the proper time comes God will deal with injustice in His own way
But it is not only the slave who is to be subject to authority
and to recognize that mistreatment patiently borne is a service acceptable to God and meritorious for man
Obedience to legitimate authority does not depend on the worthiness of the official exercising authority
Christ Himself had commanded His disciples to obey the officials of the Jewish Church
even though they might not be personally worthy of the office they held
He was obedient first of all to His parents
"He went down with them and came to Nazareth
He observed the ritual and the laws of the Jewish Church
He obeyed the laws of the Roman authorities and paid the tribute they demanded
He set off on a Genoese ship on 1 April 1219 and stopped first in Messina before heading off to Civitavecchia before he ended up in Rome to meet with the pope
The friar preached in the Basilica of Saint John Lateran while in Rome where he met both Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Dominic
He foretold that Francis would receive the stigmata while Francis foretold his premature death.st angelus of jerusalem snip From there he was a guest of the Basilians in Palermo where he was for about a month
before preaching in Agrigento for over a month before settling in Licata
He had healed seven lepers and the ailing Archbishop of Palermo Bernardo de Castanea while in Palermo
He settled on the Sicilian island though his fame as a wonderworker caused crowds to flock to him
He also had success in converting some Jews though most Jews in Palermo came to despise him for this since he himself was once Jewish
He wanted to convert a Knight named Berenger
Catholic tradition states that Berenger was living in incest and that Angelo convinced the knight’s companion to leave him
Berenger became enraged and arranged to have him attacked and murdered
in front of the Church of Saints Filippo and Giacomo in Licata
He didn’t die from the attack until four days after the attack and during that time
he prayed for his assassin and asked the civil authorities to pardon him
setting an example for all those that he preached to
He was buried at Saints Filippo and Giacomo Church
His sepulchre at Licata quickly became a site of Pilgrimage
Symbols and Representation: Carmelite with a knife in his head; Carmelite with a sword in his breast
and three crowns; Carmelite with an angel bringing him three crowns; Carmelite with lilies and roses falling from his mouth
The sisters left the orphanage in 1823 to live with their cousins Giovanni and Antonio Cittadini
Caterina became a teacher at a girl‘s public school in Somasca in 1824
The sisters felt a call to the religious life; their spiritual director recommended that they should stay in Somasca
and become the basis of a new congregation
In 1826 the sisters rented a house in Somasca
and in October opened a boarding school for girls
and instituted the oratory style of education for her girls
The sisters established another “Cittadini” private school in 1832
Giuditta directed these new school until her sudden death in 1840
followed quickly by her spiritual director from the orphanage
The rapid succession of tragedy ruined Caterina’s health
but was cured through the intercession of Saint Jerome Emilani
Caterina quit her public teaching position in 1845 to manage the schools
and guide the three companions who help her
To help organize the work and lives of her companions
she wrote the beginnings of a new rule similar to that of religious orders
In 1850 she obtained permission to build a private oratory to keep the Blessed Sacrament at her boarding school
In 1851 she applied for approval of her new religious family
and told her to write the rules of the new order; her first attempt
based on the Constitution of the Ursulines of Milano was rejected
A second attempt was accepted on 17 September 1854 under the title Orsoline Gerolimiane (Ursuline Sisters of Somasca)
the bishop of Bergamo gave his approval; the order achieved papal recognition on 8 July 1927
and to care for the abandoned; today they work in Italy

Organizers see the invitation to pray with St
John Vianney as particularly timely.The Knights of Columbus are sponsoring a national tour of a relic of St
has entrusted the Knights of Columbus with the major relic of St
Jean Mary Vianney’s incorrupt heart for the national tour in the U.S.
The Knights of Columbus welcomed as providential this special opportunity to offer for veneration a major relic of the patron of parish priests
whose holiness and integrity is a model for clergy and laity alike
Pope John XXIII reflected on the life of the saint
The pastor of Ars lived a life of great penance
whose “only motives were the love of God and the desire for the salvation of the souls of his neighbors,” John XXIII said
The saintly pope reflected on the life of Vianney in an encyclical titled Sacerdotii nostri primordia
written in 1959 for the 100th anniversary of Vianney’s death
He was noted for his dedication to the poor
“This detachment from external goods enabled him to offer the most devoted and touching care to the poor,” said the pope
“He passed a life that was almost completely detached from the changeable
and his spirit was free and unencumbered by impediments of this kind
so that it could always lie open to those who suffered from any kind of misery.”
Pope John XXIII wrote that the preservation of chastity breaks the restraints of self-interest and grants a person greater dedication to those in need
John Mary Vianney has this pertinent comment to make in this regard: ‘A soul adorned with the virtue of chastity cannot help loving others; for it has discovered the source and font of love – God.’”
The pope also pointed to Vianney’s dedication to the virtue of obedience
The saint had desired a contemplative life rather than the heavy burden of pastoral duties
“All his life he longed to lead a quiet and retired life in the background
and he regarded pastoral duties as a very heavy burden laid on his shoulders and more than once he tried to free himself of it,” the pope said
While God never allowed him to achieve this goal
it was certainly God’s way of forming the saint in the virtue of obedience
He also highlighted Vianney’s prayer life and devotion to the Eucharist
as well as his commitment to the Sacrament of Confession
Pope John XXIII said Vianney “habitually restrained his own will” to further dedicate himself to the Church
Supreme Knight Carl Anderson referred to the current upheaval in the Church in his announcement of the St
