Saint John Vianney

The tender mercies of our Lord Jesus are far too vast to remain hidden or forgotten. And John Vianney is so sure of this desire of the Lord to unburden his little ones, that he will often spend 10 to 12 hours a day in the confessional. He reminds us again this morning as he did the faithful in his village church at Ars so many years ago, "The Lord is more anxious to forgive our sins than a woman is to carry her baby out of a burning building."
