Saint John Vianney
No one thought much of him. He was considered slow, useless. Only a priest recognized the goodness in him and encouraged and supported him until he could become a priest.
In a small French town, John started his work simply and quietly and eventually was known as the “holy priest of Ars.” John became so popular that when he heard Confessions, he sometimes had to be in the confessional for 14 hours straight.
