About this listen

 Jean Marie Vianney faced incredible challenges in his pursuit of knowledge, famously earning a zero on his examination after his first year in the seminary. Yet, with unwavering determination and divine guidance, he transformed into a dedicated parish priest and eventually became the beloved Cure of Ars. As his reputation as a compassionate advisor and confessor spread, people traveled from far and wide to seek his wisdom, often whispering amongst themselves that he was a saint. Infuriated by the multitude of souls he saved, the devil relentlessly tempted and tormented him, yet Vianney proved to be a formidable opponent. This inspiring tale recounts how faith and perseverance triumphed over darkness. Eva K. Betz, a prolific Catholic writer known for her engaging biographical and historical works for children, brings this remarkable story to life.Copyright Biographies 2.0 Christianity Ministry & Evangelism Spirituality World
