The Sermons of the Cure of Ars. As the title indicates, this book is concerned with the Sermons of the Cure D’Ars, which were such a feature of his ministry. Like Christ, he had an amazing ability to take examples from everyday day, but make them come alive for his hearers. He is now the patron saint of parish priests and still a powerful example of prayer and penance.
