The pioneering Pope Blessed John XXIII even wrote an encyclical letter on St. John Vianney recommending him as a model for diocesan priests to follow.

In addition to the Blessed Virgin Mary, he also had a deep devotion to St. Philomena.

The Cure is one of my favorite saints. What a great role model...here he is, not a wizbang bright boy, but a man who loved God enough to find that point where God wanted him to be.

O most holy Saint John Vianney, you were a priest who was outstanding in pastoral zeal. May priests today be filled with that zeal, faithful to their calling, refreshed in their labors by the Holy Spirit, supported by their fellow workers and appreciated by those whose lives they touch. Dear Curé of Ars, pray for us, but especially for all priests!
