From the popular Vision Book Series of saint biographies by Ignatius Press. The Cure of Ars: Jean-Marie Vianney, a farm boy born during the French Revolution, longed to become a priest.

But he could not learn Latin, and it seemed as if the humble, lovable, slow-thinking Jean-Marie would never be ordained. He did at last become a priest, and such a holy one that St. Jean-Marie Vianney is invoked as the patron saint and model of parish priests everywhere. He devoted his life to the little village of Ars and so successfully led his people to sanctity that he became a prime target of the devil. . .
