Almighty and merciful God, who didst make St John Mary to be wonderful in pastoral~
zeal and unchanging love for prayer and penance, grant we beseech thee, that by his~
example and intercession we may be able to gain the souls of our brethren in Christ,~
and with them to arrive at the glory of eternity

Joannes Maria Vianney, in pago Dardilly, dioecosis Lugdunesis, piis ruricolis~
ortus, ab infantia plura dedit sanctitatis indicia. Cum octennis oves custodiret,~
modo puerulos, ad imaginem deiparae genuflexos, Rosarium verbo et examplo~
edocere, modo sorori vel alteri commisso grege, secretiorem lucum petere~
sociebat, quo expeditior ante simulacrum Virginis orationi vacaret. Pauperum~
amantissimus, eos turmatim in patris domum deducere et omnimodo adjuvare in~
deliciis habebat.Litteris imbuendus, parocho vici Ecully traditus est; sed ut~
erat tardioris ingenii, in studiis fere insuperabiles expertus est~
difficultates. Jejunio et oratione divinam opem imploravit, et facilitatem~
discendi rogaturus, tumulum sancti Francisci Regis, stipem quaeritans, adivit.~
Theologiae curriculo operose confecto, satis idoneus inventus est, qui sacris~
initiaretur.

[Lectio5]
In pago Ecully, praeeunte parocho, cujus vicarius renuntiatus fuerat, potiores~
pastoralis perfectionis gradus totis viribus attingere contendit. Elapso~
triennio, in viculum Ars, qui non ita multo post diloecesi Bellicensi adscriptus~
est, quasi Angelus de caelo fuit missus et omnino squalentis ac desertae suae~
paroeciae faciem florentissime renovavit. In conscientiis judicandis ac~
moderandis ad plurimas horas quotidie assiduus, frequentem Eucharistiae usum~
invexit, pias sodalitates instauravit: mirum autem in modum teneram in~
Immaculatam Virginem animis pietatem indidit. Ratus vero pastoris esse, flagitia~
concreditae plebis expiare, nec orationibus, nec vigiliis, macerationibus et~
continuis jejuniis parcebat. Tantam viri Dei virtutem cum Satan ferre non posset,~
eum vexationibus primum, dein aperto certamine adortus est; sed : atrocissimas~
afflictiones patienter tolerabat Joannes : Maria.

[Lectio6]
Invitabatur saepius a curionibus vicinis ut, Missionariorum more, animarum~
saluti, qua concionando, qua confessiones excipiendo consuleret et singulis~
praesto semper erat. Studio gloriae Dei incensus, effecit, ut pia Missionum~
exercitia in amplius centum paroeciis, constitute perpetuo censu,~
instituerentur. Inter hac, Deo servum suum miraculis et charismatibus~
illustrante, orta est Celebris illa peregrinatio, qua, per vicennium centum fere~
millia hominum cujusque ordinis et astatis, quotannis Ars confluxerint non solum e~
Galliae et Europae, sed etiam Americae dissitis provinciis. Laboribus potius~
quam senio consumptus, praenuntiato suae mortis die, in osculo Domini quievit,~
die quarta Augusti, anno millesimo octingentesimo quinquagesimo nono, annos~
natus tres ac septuaginta. Quem multis clarum miraculis, Pius decimus inter~
beatos, Pius vero undecimus inter sanctos Caelites anno sacro adscripsit,~
ejusque festum ad universam Ecclesiam extendit.

@Commune/C3:Oratio proper
O God, Who dost gladden us by the yearly Feast-day of thine holy Martyrs~
Cyriacus, Largus, and Smaragdus, mercifully grant unto us who keep their~
birth-day, the strength to imitate their patience under suffering.

[Lectio94]
John Mary Vianney was born in the Village of DArdily in the diocese of Lyons, and gave many indications of his future sanctity. As an eight year old boy, keeping sheep, he would lead the other children to kneel before the image of the Mother of God, teaching them the rosary by world and example: and he loved the work in the fields and meditate on divine things. He was a great lover of the poor and took delight in helping them in every way. He was slow to learn, but after imploring God's help, and working hard to complete his course in theology, he was judged fit to be ordained. Receiving an appointment as pastor he made spiritual flowers bloom again in a parish that had been nothing but a dried up wasteland. Busy every day hearing confessions and giving spiritual counsel, he bore patiently the most horrible attacks of Satan. He established a practice of making missions in more than hundred parishes. The faithful came flocking to his parish, even from distant places in a holy desire to see him; but he did not share their high opinion of him, and more than once he tried to slip away. Worn out by his labors rather than his old age, he he rested in the Lord at the age of seventy-three, on the day he had foretold, August 4 1859. Famous for many miracles he was enrolled among the Blessed by Pius X, and among the Saints by Pius XI, who on the fiftieth anniversary of his own priesthood, appointed him the heavenly patron of all parish priests,
