@fish_on_fridays: St. John Vianney endured nights of torment as the devil disturbed his sleep, trying to leave him exhausted for his work as a priest. Accounts of his life describe loud noises, violent disturbances and repeated interruptions that deprived him of rest. Yet he continued welcoming the faithful into the confessional, patiently hearing their sins and guiding them back to God. The humble Curé of Ars understood the importance of what happened there: sinners repented, received absolution and returned to a life of grace. Even when he was tired and suffering, he continued serving the people who came seeking reconciliation with God. His perseverance reminds us that holiness does not mean never becoming exhausted. It means remaining faithful to God through hardship, trusting in His grace and continuing to love those entrusted to our care. St. John Vianney, patron saint of parish priests, pray for us and for our priests. ✝️ #Catholic #christiantiktok
