Milton Lomask contributes his second volume to the Vision Books series of saints for youth 9 - 15 years old in this story of the greatly beloved 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.
To many he is known, not by name, but simply as ``the Cure of Ars, `` the parish priest who 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.
