生平簡介：

年輕時，在耕種之餘，教導孩子們祈禱和天主教要理。

1815 年晉鐸做了神父，因為沒有受過太多教育，也不是聰明的學生，拉丁文很差，花了很多年苦讀才成為神父，派去艾苦利短暫的時間。

1818 年派去阿爾斯堂區，是靠近里昂的一個小村莊；教友很少去教堂；開始探訪教友們，特別是生病的和窮困的家庭。花很多時間祈禱，為教友們做補贖。

天主給的恩寵包括：神類分辨，預言，隱藏的智慧和顯奇蹟。

曾被邪神虐待，特別每晚只能睡二三個小時。

因為聖人以補贖出名，群眾來教堂聽講道與辦修和聖事。

到1815 年，每年就有兩萬人來阿爾斯朝聖。

Introduction

Also known as: Curé of Ars.

Feast: 4 August.

Profile:

Farm hand who in his youth taught other children their prayers and catechism.

Ordained in 1815, though it took several years of study as he had little education, was not a very good student, and his Latin was terrible. Assigned for a while to Ecully. In 1818 he was assigned to the parish of Ars, a tiny village near Lyons, which suffered from very lax attendance; he began visiting his parishioners, especially the sick and poor.

Spent days in prayer, doing penance for his parishioners. Gifted with discernment of spirits, prophecy, hidden knowledge, and working miracles.

Tormented by evil spirits, especially when he tried to get his 2-3 hours of sleep each night.

Crowds came to hear him preach, and to make their reconciliation because of his reputation with penitents; by 1855 there were 20,000 pilgrims a year to Ars.

Spent 40 years as the parish priest.

Born: 8 May 1786 at Dardilly, Lyons, France.

Died: 4 August 1859 at Ars, France of natural causes. Upon exhumation his body found to be incorrupt.

Canonized: 31 May 1925.

Patronage:

confessors; priests.

If people would do for God what they do for the world, what a great number of Christians would go to Heaven.
