The Cure D'ars Abbe by Francis Trochu - Catholic Book, Paperback, 576 pp.
The definitive life, based on the official "Process of Beatification and Canonization," and thus totally factual and documented. Of humble education and assigned to a forgotten farmers' village, he attracted the whole world to Ars and was proclaimed "Patron Saint of Parish Priests" in 1929. He ate one meal a day, slept only a few hours a night, heard confessions up to 17 hours a day, converted thousands. His body remains incorrupt. A grace-filled story of total love of God!
In this definitive work on the life of St Jean-Marie-Baptiste Vianney, Fr Trochu has recorded the many extraordinary facts surrounding the life and vocation of the Cure of Ars. Because they are so remarkable, he has for the most part discarded the popular legend and has based his book on the official Beatification and Canonisation, rendering thereby an account which is at once marvelous and authentic.
Brings home the tremendous importance of the sacrament of confession in living a truly Catholic life.
