Patron
Saint John Mary Vianney Priest
（1786-1859）
Prayer of Saint John Mary Vianney:
I love You, O my God, and my only desire is to love You
until the last breath of my life.
I love You, O my infinitely lovable God,
and I would rather die loving You, than live without
loving You.
I love You, Lord, and the only grace I ask is to love
you eternally
My God, if my tongue cannot say in every moment that I
love You,
I want my heart to repeat it to You as often as I draw
breath.
About Saint John Mary Vianney;
Jean-Baptiste-Marie Vianney, T.O.S.F., (8 May 1786 – 4
August 1859),
commonly known in English as St John Vianney,
was a French parish priest who is venerated in the
Catholic Church
as a saint and as the patron saint of all priests.
He is often referred to as the "Curé d'Ars".
He became internationally notable for his priestly and
pastoral work
in his parish because of the radical spiritual
transformation
of the community and its surroundings.
Catholics attribute this to his saintly life,
mortification,
his persevering ministry in the sacrament of confession,
and his ardent devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and to
St.
Philomena.
