He considered himself as Martha but he actually was a Mary. All his actions were prayers....all 16 hours a day....everyday....for 30 years as Cure d'Ars. What an inspirational priest. In our day, priests are predominately effeminate and weak due to the prelates predilection. One hopes and prays that there is a iota of the Cure within all of them. The flock is in need....dire need.

Henri Gheon has a somewhat poetic style which is very engaging. Happily, it does not affect his biography in making it flowery, but enables him to bring the reader accurately into a scene of long ago. His Cure is a solidly real human being.

This book is very short, and you'll find yourself counting the remaining pages as you go. Highly recommend.

I wouldn’t read this for a critical review of this saint’s life, but it’s an excellent spiritual read and a quick one to boot. Ghéon is a lively and insightful writer and I will be sure to read his biography of St. Thérèse of Lisieux as well.

Oxalá todas as hagiografias e biografias fossem tão boas como esta!

Great book on the life of St. Jean Marie Vianney. Gheon does a good job of showing the greatness of this saint
