Saintly Pastor of Ars and splendid
model of all servants of souls, you were
considered not very bright but you pos-
sessed the wisdom of the Saints.
You were a true pontifex, a bridge-
builder, between God and his people as
countless penitents streamed to your con-
fessional. Inspire all priests to be dedi-
cated mediators between God and his
people in our day.
Let Nothing Disturb You
Let nothing disturb you; nothing frighten you. All things are passing. God never changes. Patience obtains all things. Nothing is wanting to him who possesses God. God alone suffices.
