Radykalizm w życiu i posłudze świętego Proboszcza z Ars

Very significant words of God’s servant John Paul II, may constitute a summary of this presentation: A parish priest of Ars is a model of priestly zeal for all priests. The secret of his generosity lies in the love of God, lived without measure, at a regular responding to the love revealed in Christ crucified. [...] For Christ literally tried to perform radical demands, which God put in the Gospel, sending students: prayer, poverty, humility, self-denial, voluntary mortification. Like Christ, he has a deep love of the faithful, which will lead him to the extreme pastoral dedication and sacrifice of self. [...] For all these reasons, St. John Vianney did not cease to be a witness to the truth and current vocation and priestly ministry. [...] The figure of the parish priest of Ars, indeed, is not expired! (Pope John Paul II, St. John Mary Vianney – a model for all priests. Letter of Pope John Paul II to Priests for Holy Thursday 1986).
