St. John Vianney, Curé of Ars
Patron Saint of Parish Priests
When something meaningful has happened in our lives, we can recall where we were, who we were with, and what was going on at that time.
One of those times was April 14, 1967, when God sent us an angel, a blonde, blue-eyed baby weighing barely five pounds. Our grandson was almost swallowed up in his blanket; he was so tiny. We couldn’t keep our eyes off this precious bundle. Suddenly, the nurses seemed to be having a problem with him. Seeing us, they quickly drew the curtains shut. The doctor finally came out from the nursery; he told us, our baby wouldn’t last the night. Numb, we replied helplessly, You mean he is in the Hands of God.
He looked at us, kind of strangely.
We ran to St. Patrick’s Cathedral. It was locked! The last thing we remember doing that night, was going to our parish church, out on Long Island. It was locked! It was dark; all we could see was a lighted statue of Jesus in front of our church. I knelt before my Lord and begged Him to save our precious grandson.
The next day, we went to the hospital; they told us our baby took his first nourishment at 6 a.m. When I tried to thank the doctor, for saving our grandson, he replied, We did all we could, with the scientific knowledge we have; it was your God who saved him.
And this, from someone who claimed to be an atheist.
The day Robby was Baptized, we raised him up before a beautiful statue of Jesus, He is Yours, Lord. You gave him to us, twice. Now we consecrate him back to You.
I had always loved that statue; Jesus had red Hair and blue Eyes, like my father, my first earthly Jesus. My earthly father now in Heaven, I talked to this Jesus. I related to Him. I liked Him. I trusted Him. I didn’t know, at the time, why He had a Heart, with a crown of thorns surrounding It, outside of His Body, on His Chest. You see, I didn’t know much about my Faith, no less the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Robby was the only baby who did not cry, when he was Baptized with holy water. A Jewish friend with us, said this was a sign he was to do something special for the Lord. Our grandson has grown up into a fine young man. He has been close to Jesus and His Mother Mary all his life. He is a part of this book and this chapter, in particular. You see, the name of the church, where we had prayed for our boy, on the night he was saved, the same church where he was Baptized, was The Curé of Ars (St. John Mary Vianney).
Lord, You placed us in the path of one of your great and faithful servants, twenty-three years, ago. Little did we know why, then. The first time we journeyed to the Shrine of St. Jean Vianney in Ars, France, with our family, in 1979, we did not know why we were there! As we studied the life of this Curé, and brought pilgrims there, year after year, we still did not have the answer. Priests on our Pilgrimages, always asked to serve at the Altar
